PERCENT_DUPLICATION is a fraction
See original GitHub issueIssue https://github.com/broadinstitute/picard/issues/157 says this issue will not be resolved, but could the documentation please be adjusted? The FAQ describes it correctly, but https://broadinstitute.github.io/picard/picard-metric-definitions.html still says:
PERCENT_DUPLICATION The percentage of mapped sequence that is marked as duplicate.
(incidentally, it looks like all PCT_ values are really fractions rather than percentages, it mightn’t hurt to state this more clearly)

Actually we should also fix the docs in the metrics classes. Our blog post was an attempt to raise awareness to this problem, but it can’t be considered a substitute for fixing the docs.
Yes it’s done.
