I have aligned my chip-seq data with bow tie and wanted to remove PCR duplicates. I ran rmdup in SAM tools on the aligned file but the number or reads I got back (i.e.. 8787256 / 9006759 = 0.9756 in library) was more than the number of single aligned reads I started with? I assume these numbers are number of unique reads vs total reads tested, is this correct?

 

Many thanks

Dave

Hi,

The tool you are looking for is "NGS: Picard (beta) -> Mark Duplicate reads".

Thanks! Jen, Galaxy team
