Remove Duplicates for NGS Data

This module removes duplicates in a DNA-Seq data file. In NO circumstances is this module recommended for RNA-Seq data.

Duplicates are defined by alignments with the same start position and end position, or fragments with same range (start and end positions of read1 and read2 in a pair).
