Purpose
Computes a number of metrics that are useful for evaluating coverage and performance of whole genome sequencing experiments.
Dataset collections - processing large numbers of datasets at once
This will be added shortly
Inputs, outputs, and parameters
Either a SAM file or a BAM file must be supplied. Galaxy automatically coordinate-sorts all uploaded BAM files.
From Picard documentation( http://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/):
MINIMUM_MAPPING_QUALITY=Integer MQ=Integer Minimum mapping quality for a read to contribute coverage. Default value: 20. MINIMUM_BASE_QUALITY=Integer Q=Integer Minimum base quality for a base to contribute coverage. Default value: 20. COVERAGE_CAP=Integer CAP=Integer Treat bases with coverage exceeding this value as if they had coverage at this value. Default value: 250.
