Hi, Does MACS remove duplicate reads automatically during the peak calling? I'm running controls for all the samples. Thanks for your help, Yanina

Hello Yanina, According to the MACS documentation (also linked from the tool form): http://liulab.dfci.harvard.edu/MACS/00README.html The option controlling duplicates is (quote): --keep-dup=KEEPDUPLICATES It controls the MACS behavior towards duplicate tags at the exact same location -- the same coordination and the same strand. The default 'auto' option makes MACS calculate the maximum tags at the exact same location based on binomal distribution using 1e-5 as pvalue cutoff; and the 'all' option keeps every tags. If an integer is given, at most this number of tags will be kept at the same location. Default: auto Galaxy implements this as the option on the tool form as "Pvalue cutoff for peak detection:" with "1e-05" as the default. Hopefully this helps!
