  • QC using Samtools

    Hi all,

    I am trying to learn how to do QC with RNA-Seq data and I've been referring to this pdf file that was the RNA-Seq Blog. In one of the steps it recommends that you filter out:
    1. Reads that don't align
    2. Alignments that are not primary
    3. Alignments Fails QC
    4. Alignments that are PCR or optical duplicates


    It then has the following commands

    Code:
    samtools view -F 1796 -S -bt mm9.fa.fai GSM521256_exp_filtered.sam > GSM521256_exp.ba
    samtools rmdup GSM521256_exp.bam GSM521256_exp.nodup.bam
    In the -F parameter we are already filtering out for PCR and Optical duplicates are we not? Then what does the rmdup step add to the filtering since it's already filtered out (or supposedly filtered out) PCR and Optical duplicates in the last step.

    Also, what determines if an alignment fails QC? is it the mapping quality?

    Thanks,

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
