Fastp

Does fastp remove duplicated reads or not because I have been trying to remove the duplicate reads by using -D or --dedup but it's not working so can someone tell me if it's still available?

fastp

i used this command

fastp -i SRR13684098_1.fastq.gz -I SRR13684098_2.fastq.gz -o 098_1.fastq.gz -O 098_2.fastq.gz -D

and it shows undefined short option: -D

but mostly for enabling any feature we use this way only

sorry may be i am wrong also

what is your version of fastp ?

can you see the -D option in fastp --help

fastp 0.23.2

no i can't see i think its the latest version and even in github there is an option for removing duplications.

hey thanks for the suggestion but i figured it out as its rna-seq data there is no need to remove duplication as i might lose some important data

Does clumpify.sh remove duplicates based on UMIs, aka. keep consensus or the best sequence from a group of sequences with the same UMI?

No. clumpify.sh only uses sequence read. If your UMI is still part of that sequence then it will dedupe those reads but you should not count on it using the UMI specifically.

If you want to specifically use UMI, then try umi-tools or fastp.

thanks for the clarification.
