Find out if you have amplicon reads.
Is there really no way (program, tool) to tell if your BAM files have amplicon reads?
How is everyone doing it? determining a priori and using different analysis pipelines? or is this done by visually judging FastQC reports?
Any comments are welcome, I simply cannot believe we have no way to automatically tell if the reads are amplicons by library design; like, you would probably expect a really smaller number of equal start-end positions for PCR duplicates than amplicons, right? or at least less positions with duplicates in the case of PCR duplicates?
Anyway, thanks if anyone has any input!
cheers!
