ReadStrandFilter

Filter out reads based on strand orientation

Category Read Filters

---

Overview

This filter is useful for isolating reads from only forward or reverse strands. By default, it filters out reads from the negative (reverse) strand. This logic can be reversed by using the -filterPositive flag.

Usage example

Set the read strand filter to filter out positive (forward) strand reads

     java -jar GenomeAnalysisTk.jar \
         -T ToolName \
         -R reference.fasta \
         -I input.bam \
         -o output.file \
         -rf ReadStrand \
         -filterPositive
