bam-filtration

Performs data cleaning and removal operations. This skill takes a raw BAM and creates a new, "clean" BAM file by actively removing artifacts: mitochondrial reads, blacklisted regions, PCR duplicates, and unmapped reads. Use this skill to "clean," "filter," or "remove bad reads" from a dataset. This is a prerequisite step before peak calling. Do NOT use this skill if you only want to view statistics without modifying the file.
