Why remove duplicate reads?

Why remove duplicate reads?

In our RNA-Seq data we tend to get very uneven coverage of expressed genes. Removing duplicates would eliminate much of our signal from those genes, and all our read counts would be dramatically lower.

How to remove PCR duplicates?

PCR duplicates are reads that are made from the same original cDNA molecule via PCR. A common practice to eliminate PCR duplicates is to remove all but one read of identical sequences, assuming that such reads have been created from the same cDNA molecule by PCR [3].

Does PCR duplicate the entire genome?

PCR duplicates arise in step 3. In step 3 you are intentionally creating multiple copies of each original genomic DNA molecule so that you have enough of them, therefore some amount of PCR duplication is inevitable.

What is a PCR duplicate?

PCR duplicates are sequence reads that result from sequencing two or more copies of the exact same DNA fragment, which, at worst, may contain erroneous mutations introduced during PCR amplification, or, at the very least, make the occurrence of the allele(s) sequenced in duplicates appear proportionately more often …
