    Trimmomatic but no trimming

    Hii dear friends

    I have a question about Trimmomatic. I wrote this command:

    java -jar /usr/bin/trimmomatic-0.33.jar PE -phred64 72_L3_1.fq.gz 72_L3_2.fq.gz 71P_1.fq.gz 71UP_1.fq.gz 71P_2.fq.gz 71UP_2.fq.gz ILLUMINACLIP:Over.fasta:2:40:15


    72_L3_1.fq.gz
    and
    72_L3_2.fq.gz
    are my input files

    71P_1.fq.gz
    71UP_1.fq.gz
    71P_2.fq.gz
    and
    71UP_2.fq.gz
    are my output files. In my case P means paired and UP means unpaired.

    after I did fastqc I got overrepresented sequence (it is not adapter) and I stored it in Over.fasta and I want to trim it from my data.

    but when I run the command I see this:

    ILLUMINACLIP: Using 0 prefix pairs, 0 forward/reverse sequences, 0 forward only sequences, 0 reverse only sequences
    Input Read Pairs: 19759652 Both Surviving: 19759652 (100.00%) Forward Only Surviving: 0 (0.00%) Reverse Only Surviving: 0 (0.00%) Dropped: 0 (0.00%)

    It does not trim the sequence.

    Why it is like that?

    In addition, for Palindrome and Single mode U just selected 40 and 15 because the manual selected them. Actually I do not know which score I should select. How can I choose the correct score?

    Would you please help me in these two questions.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    I'm sorry for asking so many questions each day. I' working with RNA-seq data in these days. In each level, I should stop due to errors, warnings, blocks and confusions and this story continues.

    and thank you for helping me in solving all these problems.

    Are you sure nothing was done the your sequences? 100% reads surviving does not necessarily mean no trimming was performed, especially when you don't specify MINLEN.

      Yes, I'm almost sure because when I do fastqc, the number of reads and nucleotides in them have not changed (I mean "Total sequences" and "Sequence length").

        The explanation is here (highlighted in red). Trimmomatic is not finding any valid sequences to use for trimming in the supplied clipping file 'Over.fasta' meaning you must have formatted it incorrectly.

          I put following sequences in Over.fasta

          CTCCCATTTCGCTCGCCGCTACTACGGGAATCGCTTTTGCTTTCTTTTCC
          GGCTTGCGGTGGATACCTAGGTACCCAGAGACGAGGAAGGGCGTAGCAAG

          Isn't it correct?

            That is not a valid fasta file.

                Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
                by SEQadmin2


                Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

                The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

                Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
                by SEQadmin2



                Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

                Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
                by SEQadmin2



                Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

                There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
