i had ran a PI chip yesterday.And today i found that there was something wrong in the report.Just as shown in the pdf file,a short reads-about 30 bps was mixed into the final library.could anybody give me some suggestion about the origin of the short reads.Thanks!

...for example, these are (humble) Python 3 scripts that use pysam, pandas and plotly:
first I would check the exact position of the short reads peak:
Code:import pysam import pandas as pd from plotly.offline import plot import plotly.graph_objs as go bamfiles = ['IonXpress_003.bam', 'IonXpress_004.bam', 'IonXpress_007.bam', 'IonXpress_005.bam' ] # length_data will hold data counts for every bam file length_data = [] # collect sequence length counts for file in bamfiles: print("Reading file: " + file) bam = pysam.AlignmentFile(file, "rb") selected = bam.fetch() # alen = length of the aligned reference segment # qlen = length of the aligned read segment # rlen = length of the aligned read segment, including soft-clipped bases reads_xlen = [read.alen for read in selected] counts = [(i, reads_xlen.count(i)) for i in range(min(reads_xlen), max(reads_xlen))] length_data.append(pd.DataFrame(counts)) # create traces data = [go.Scatter(x=bamdata[0], y=bamdata[1], mode = 'lines', name=bamfiles[i]) for i, bamdata in enumerate(length_data)] # plot data scatterplot = plot({'data': data})
Code:import pysam # choose a file that contains the peak, select the peak position file = 'IonXpress_004.bam' peakpos = 29 # let's say the peak was at 29 bases # retrieve all sequences from reads with the alignment length you specified bam = pysam.AlignmentFile(file, "rb") selected = bam.fetch() reads = [read for read in selected if read.alen == peakpos] reads_seq = [read.seq for read in reads] # you can count them print("Number of sequences retrieved:", len(reads_seq)) # see how many different entries you have entries = set(reads_seq) print("Number of different entries:", len(entries)) # categorize them cat_entries = [(entry, reads_seq.count(entry)) for entry in entries] cat_entries.sort(key = lambda x:x[1]) # print the 20 most common sequences print('\nMost common sequences:') print('[hits] sequence') for i in range(20): print('[{0}] {1}'.format(cat_entries[i][1], cat_entries[i][0]))

Thanks for your help!I had send the bam files to the technical support.His anwser was that the short reads were primer dimers.He suggested us to optimize the experiment protocal.So we will improve the experiment pipeline and run one sample on the PGM to test the propose!

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

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...-
