MarDRe

MarDRe is a de novo MapReduce-based parallel tool to remove duplicate and near-duplicate DNA reads in large scale FASTQ/FASTA datasets. Duplicate reads can be seen as identical or nearly identical sequences with some mismatches, so removing them decreases memory requirements and computational time of downstream analysis, without damaging biological information. MarDRe is written in Java and built upon Apache Hadoop.
