  • trimming paired end reads using Trim galore

    Dear all

    im trying to trim paired-end RRBS illumina reads using Trim galore. as far as i understood, paired end reads must be trimmed using --paired option following by file names. i tried : trim_galore --paired r1.fastq.gz r2.fastq.gz. however at the end, im getting only trimmed file for read 1 and nothing for read 2. any idea why?

    thank you so much in advance

    Hi Hedi86,

    for RRBS the command would be:

    Code:
    trim_galore --rrbs --paired r1.fastq.gz r2.fastq.gz
    Which version of Trim Galore were you using (the latest one is v0.5.0, https://github.com/FelixKrueger/TrimGalore/releases).

    Trim Galore will trim R1 first, R2 second, and then perform a validation step which p0roduces 2 new files that contain _val_ in their file names (for validated). Once this is done, the files called _trimmed_ ... are being deleted. If there are any error messages on the screen they might help identify where the problem lies.

      thank you for your replay

      for downstream analyses in Bismark i used both Val-trimmed-R1 and Val-trimmed-R2 files (because libraries prepared using NuGEN kit). however, bismark produced only one BAM file with R1 extension name. is it normal for pair end alignment?

        Yes, this is normal. Paired-end BAM files have Read 1 and Read 2 on consecutive lines, so there is only one file per read pair.

          These are steps to work on trimming process.

          Step 1: Quality*Trimming. In the first step, low-quality base calls are*trimmedoff from the 3'*end*of the*reads*before adapter removal.
          Step 2: Adapter*Trimming.
          Step 3: Removing Short Sequences.
          Step 4: Specialised*Trimming.
