Exceptionally high peak/reads in ATACseq bam and peak files

Hi there, could anyone tell me how to remove the exceptionally high peak in the ATACseq? I got those high reads in both bam files and peak files? Thanks a lot!

Can you confirm that you have deduplicated the data and excluded the ENCODE blacklist regions?

I removed the PCR duplicates through Picard. For the species I am working on, ENCODE does not have the blacklist regions yet.

Did you set REMOVE_DUPLICATES parameter to true?

yes, I did set the REMOVE_DUPLICATES=true

Removed mitochondrial reads? Even if not I would ignore it and proceed with downstream analysis and only come back if you see odd things downstream.

Thanks, I have removed the mitochondrial reads too.
