Elimination of PCR duplicates in RNA-seq and small RNA-seq using unique molecular identifiers

Abstract Background RNA-seq and small RNA-seq are powerful, quantitative tools to study gene regulation and function. Common high-throughput sequencing methods rely on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to expand the starting material, but not every molecule amplifies equally, causing some to be overre...
