  • how could I know whether the adaptor has been trimed

    Dear all,

    Here I have a question about the data analysis about NGS. I download the pair-end fastq files about WGBS on EBI, but I don't know what is the adaptor that used and I want to ask how can I know whether it has been removed?

    Thanks all for you answers.

    You can always try contacting the original submitter of the sequence to get additional information.

    You will need to have some idea about what kind of sequencing results these are in order to effectively use a tool such as "trimmomatic". http://www.usadellab.org/cms/index.php?page=trimmomatic

    You can look at the thread below to obtain the sequences of the illumina adapters.

    Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc


    That said most of the publicly released data should have the adapters trimmed (except few reads where there may be adapter dimers etc, in case the sequences are not QC'ed).

      Hi,
      You can look here: http://intron.ccam.uchc.edu/groups/t...Sequences.html
      unix grep command can be used for rough idea of adapters and primers in your sequences. Here are the tools to trim the adapters: http://bioscholar.com/genomics/tools...quencing-data/

      Hope this will help.

        Clustering the reads may shed light on what the adaptor sequence is. You could cut n bases from the 5' end of the reads and cluster them using cd-hit-est (http://weizhong-lab.ucsd.edu/cd-hit/) and based on how many reads cluster into a specific sequence you could identify the common sequence which would presumably be the adaptor.

        Hope this helps, good luck!

            You might try FastQC and look at over-represented sequences to see if there are adapters.

            seqdiverse might also shed some light on that (I wrote it so feel free to ask me questions or complain).

              Great, I will use seqdiverse to make a try, thank you very much.

                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...
