Is there a way to save the duplicates (write to a separate file) that are removed by SAMtools' rmdup? I'd like to have a look at them....
Many thanks in advance,

try picard MarkDuplicates and then using samtools view -f 1024 -
Cheers, that makes sense. I wish there was a way of doing this in a single step with samtools (I'm not so fond of Picard at the moment...
)

Is it too obtuse to say that you could grep out the non-matching lines from the rmdup SAM and the original SAM?
Also whats wrong with Picard? I've always found it more consistent.Comment

Picard MarkDuplicates doesn't work with SE reads, as far as I can tell.
We're estimating duplicates in ChIP-seq data.Comment

i am not sure of this. why wouldnt it?Originally posted by robinpsmith View Post
anyway, depending on your alignment file size you could also consider running a unix diff on the original and samtools-rmdup'ed SAM file.Comment

Hi,
Am using samtools rmdup ... but it doesn't seem to remove them in the out file? What's going on?

@volks you are right, it does work on SE. My bad.
@naragam. I ended up using Picard, it does a much better job.Comment

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM -
Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
