# [BetterRMDup] Remove duplicates

This wrapper for Alexander Peltzer’s BetterRMDup removes duplicate reads from BAM files and improves upon the SAMtools rmdup tool by considering both the start and the stop coordinates. It runs the command

    betterrmdup -

which itself is a wrapper for

    java -jar BetterRMDup.jar -

The tool currently provides no further options.
