Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the use of
picard MarkDuplicates
within
sarek
when using UMIs. When using UMIs (outside sarek in just a regular pipeline), I'm used to just using the
fgbio
workflow, but I have seen in the
sarek
that the pipeline also can include
picard MarkDuplicates
. Is it mandatory to use
fgbio
and
picard MarkDuplicates
to properly manage UMI-based deduplication within
sarek
? Whats the difference in this case between using just
fgbio
or
fgbio + picard MarkDuplicates
? Thanks!

Sarek also uses fgbio for UMIs, and (I am pretty sure that) in this case there will be no (additional) duplicate marking with
MarkDuplicates
-- that would make no sense.
