A reference-based, UMI-aware, 5ʹ-trimming-aware PCR duplicate removal pipeline.

Dupligänger

Dupligänger is a reference-based, UMI-aware, 5’-trimming-aware PCR duplicate removal pipeline.

Usage: dupliganger [options] <command> [<args>…]

Dupligänger is a pipeline. Each stage of the pipeline is run by passing a ‘command’ to Dupligänger. The commands / pipeline-steps (in order) are as follows:

remove-umi         1. Annotate read names with UMIs (clip inline UMIs if needed).
remove-adapter     2. Remove adapters ('Cutadapt' wrapper).
qtrim              3. Quality trim ('Trimmomatic' wrapper).
annotate-qtrim     4. Annotates quality trimmed file(s).
align              5. Align reads to a reference genome assembly (performed manually by user).
dedup              6. Use the alignment to remove PCR duplicates.

While generally used only by the developers of Dupligänger, the ‘dedup’ command is comprised of the following Dupligänger commands run in the following order:

build-read-db      1. Build a database of aligned reads.
build-location-db  2. Build a database of locations of aligned reads.
build-dup-db       3. Build a database of PCR duplicates.

Options:

-o OUT_DIR      Place results in directory OUT_DIR.
--compress      Compress output.

Note:

Dupligänger supports (and autodetects) input FASTQ files that are gzipped.

See ‘dupliganger help <command>’ for more information on a specific command.
