This sequence is a simple repeat identical to its own complement (not reverse-complement) when shifted by two positions, which makes me suspicious. Just a general suspicion, though; I can't identify any culprits. If not for dpryan's extraordinary diligence in analyzing the raw data I would have thought it was a software problem. But since that seems to have been ruled out, I wonder if the self-complementary nature might be important. Have you tried aligning read1 and read2 independently to the reference, to see if in that context, read2 might map without soft-clipping?

It still could be base caller software (RTA) that creates BCL files. This is more likely if the run was paused and restarted or the available disk space was limited sometime during run.
PS. Since only a subset of reads have been affected it might be useful to check if they are from the same tile or random.Last edited by nucacidhunter; 01-28-2017, 09:26 PM.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
