Hi,

I am working on genomics data and for this I used *bwa mem* for aligning the fastq files. After, I am calling SNP with samtools/bcftools but I have a question about samtools. Is it necessary to use a filter ("samtools mpileup -q 1" ?) on the minimum mapping quality (MAPQ) ?

What is the best way to remove reads that map to multiple locations?
What cutoff value do you use about MAPQ?

I think it is only necessary to remove zeros but I don't find a consensus or recommendations for good practice...


thank you !!
