    Thanks for all of your advices!
    I did not know about BBMap software, thank you!
    Is it faster as Hisat2? I have billions of read to map, although I think I will try for now to restrict my mapping to the transcriptome (especially for Eukarotic genome) -- full genome is very slow.

      If you have a multi-core machine, BBMap will be fast. Use the threads=N option to start with available threads.

They are typically devised by biologists on the assumption that "My data has variable quality, and is annotated with its actual quality. Therefore, if I throw away low-quality data, my results will be strictly better."
        I was here for adapter clipping. But thought I'd add something to this old post:

        1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK21729/ (Molecular Cell Biology) summarises:
        - "Like pre-mRNAs, the primary transcripts produced from pre-rRNA and tRNA genes undergo extensive processing." - some of the processes are described in the linked chapter. Some things to be aware of if aligning to rRNA...

        2. Low quality reads... I have just such reads to back this up... what does Q2 mean here? The reads line up - but the sequence was still read where the quality was #/Q2. To me that looks like a valid read. [Read ID anonymised to SRR888888]

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          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...
