Extract Low Complexity

ExtractLowComplexity #

[[step]]
    action = "ExtractLowComplexity"
    label = "complexity"
    segment = "read1" # Any of your input segments, or 'All'

Calculate read complexity, based on the percentage of bases that are changed from their predecessor.

A good filter value might be 0.30, which means 30% complexity is required. See FilterByNumericTag.
