  • NextSeq 550 Fastq header

    Hi, im working with PE Nextseq 550 data

    I know that there are 12 inline barcodes from 5 to 8 bp for my data

    the reads fastq headers shows 57 different dual index sequences (all 8 bp each one) with CGGGGGGG+TGCTTCCA the most prevalent being in the 98% of the total reads

    something like this:
    @NB501358:172:HTJY7BGX2:1:11101:17581:139461:N:0:CGGGGGGG+TGCTTCCA

    does someone know what the 57 sequences means?

    thanks

    Are you sure about inline barcodes?

    The example you posted above is standard Illumina index sequences for a dual indexed run. It is common to see a mishmash of combinatorial index sequences (besides those known to be there) in sequence data. They represent errors among other things. I am not sure why you received 57 combinations (it is as if they gave you the remaining data after they took what they wanted). Was this sample run with others that did not belong to you?

      Thanks for your answer!

      Yes i'm sure about the inline barcodes

      Yes this data was provided by a external lab most probably was run with other data

        If "CGGGGGGG+TGCTTCCA" is 98% of the data then you should remove and ignore the rest. You have no idea what is in there if your sample was part of a larger pool. If you are able to recognize the inline barcodes conclusively then you could go fishing in the remainder of the data.

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          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...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          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...
