    Proper regex to mark duplicates using Picard tools on SOLiD data

    Hi,

    I'm having trouble removing duplicates using Picard tools on SOLiD data. I get a regex not matching error.

    The reads have the following names:

    Code:
    22_758_632_F3
    
    604_1497_576
    
    124_1189_1519_F5
    
    358_1875_702_F5-DNA
    And I don't think Picard tools is able to pick these read names with its default regex.

    I tried to change the default regex. This time it does not throw an error, but it takes too long and times out (out of memory). I suspect I'm not giving the right regex. Here is my command:

    Code:
    java -jar $PICARD_TOOLS_HOME/MarkDuplicates.jar I=$FILE O=$BAMs/MarkDuplicates/$SAMPLE.MD.bam M=$BAMs/MarkDuplicates/$SAMPLE.metrics READ_NAME_REGEX="([0-9]+)_([0-9]+)_([0-9]+).*"
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
