Removing Duplicate Reads Post Alignment

Hi,

I'm analyzing RNA-Seq data and I want to check for snp in it. For that, I want to remove duplicated reads from the bam file. Duplicate reads are reads that are aligned at the same position on the genome. Could anyone help me with that ?

Thanks,

N.

furthermore, please search "Removing duplicates from RNA-seq data", and please avoid duplicate posting

This has been answered several times on the site. Briefly, two options for software are samtools and picard. As far as I know, If you have paired-end data, picard is preferred. You should have a think about whether it's appropriate to remove duplicates in your situation. See link provided by Nandini.
