Dear all,
I tried to use Picard MarkDuplicates to mark duplicates. I found METRICS_FILE need to be set. However, I know nothing about the "metrics"about my data. All I know is its mapping rate, etc. What should I look into and how should I set the matrics file please? Thank you.

Hi, my syntax looks like:
picard -Xmx"$memory"g -Djava.io.tmpdir=$PWD/tmp -XX:ParallelGCThreads=$cpu MarkDuplicates I= ${p%.bam}.bam O= ${p%.bam}_rmdp.bam METRICS_FILE= ${p%.bam}_rmdp.txt CREATE_INDEX=true USE_JDK_DEFLATER=true USE_JDK_INFLATER=true
Metrics should give you an statistics about PCR duplicates.
Yes. I found that the Matrics is not an input file but an output file. Thank you!
