Duplicates removal tool for paired-end

Hi, I used fastuniq, a duplicates removal tool for paired short DNA sequences. It used a lot of memory and I just wonder whether there is another tool which could remove duplication from paired-end with less memory?

Thank you in advance.

You could try the tally tool with reaper. I've only ever use it in single-end mode, but it claims to do paired end as well. As a bonus, it records how many copies of each sequence their were in the read name.

you could use PRINSEQ or after alignment using samtools also duplicates can be removed. You can go through the links

PCR_duplicates, samtools for duplication
