Description
Disambiguates reads aligned to two different organisms (e.g. human and mouse) from the same source of FASTQ files. Useful in explant RNA/DNA-Seq workflows where reads from two species are present. For reads aligned to both organisms, the algorithm compares alignment quality scores to determine the most likely species of origin. Produces four BAM files (uniquely assigned to species A or B, ambiguous for species A or B) and a summary file.
