Hello, is there anyone aware of the difference in remove duplicate reads by using different tools. For example, the number of duplicate reads removed by cd-hit-454 and PRINSEQ is much different. Thanks.

you may try Picard to do this -
I know samtools rmdup and picard markdup.
A: samtools rmdup does not remove interchromosomal duplicates. MarkDuplicates does remove these duplicates.
Samtools paired-end rmdup does not work for unpaired reads (e.g. orphan reads or ends mapped to different chromosomes). If this is a concern, please use Picard’s MarkDuplicate which correctly handles these cases, although a little slower.Comment

Can somebody show how pickard does duplicate markups and how you can remove them? I can't seem to find the markings....?

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
