flagstat

samtools-flagstat

Provides counts for each of 13 categories based primarily on bit flags in the FLAG field. Each category is broken up into QC pass or QC fail. For example the first row in the flagstat file will look like:

122 + 28 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)

which means that of the total 150 reads 122 were marked as QC pass and 28 as QC fail. The other categories are in the same structure

Attribute Description
n_reads Total number of reads
secondary ?
supplementary ?
duplicates Number of duplicate reads
mapped Number of mapped reads
paired in sequencing the read is paired in sequencing, no matter whether it is mapped in a pair
read1 counts read1
read2 counds read2
properly paired reads mapped in a proper pair
with itself and mate pair mapped number of reads where the read itself is mapped the mate is unmapped
singletons number of reads where the read itself is unmapped the mate is mapped
with mate mapped to a different chr number of reads with a mate mapped on a different chromosome
with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>-5) number of reads with a mate on a different chromosome having a quality greater than 5
