I was trying to do duplicate removal after alignment with STAR, and here is how i ran the command line:
$ STAR --runMode inputAlignmentsFromBAM --inputBAMfile /dir/ti/my.sorted.bam --bamRemoveDuplicatesType UniqueIdentical
I expected the resulting bam files to be smaller than the input. However, the output bam files are bigger than the input one. Is this reasonable? Any explanation or reason that caused this?
Thanks.
