Welcome to the nailpolish documentation.
Nailpolish is a tool written in Rust for error correction of PCR duplicates, which occur when multiple reads have the same barcode and UMI. By quickly identifying these duplicates and performing a graph-based consensus algorithm, Nailpolish can replace these reads with a single consensus error-corrected read. This process can help to correct some of the sequencing errors naturally occurring in the reads.
See the Quick Start for more information.
