MarDRe
MapReduce-based tool to remove duplicate DNA reads
MarDRe is a de novo MapReduce-based parallel tool to remove duplicate and near-duplicate DNA reads through the clustering of single-end and paired-end sequences from FASTQ/FASTA datasets (plain or compressed with Gzip/BZip2). This tool allows bioinformaticians to avoid the analysis of not necessary reads, reducing the time of subsequent procedures with the dataset. (e.g., assemblies, mappings, etc.). Among each group of duplicate reads, MarDRe keeps the one with the highest average quality....
