  • How to remove adaptor from the NGS data?

    I did one lane illumina Hiseq, the output is 400 million reads. The question is there are about 1,800 different adaptors in the raw data file, is there any easy and fast way to remove those 1,800 different adaptors?

    Do you want to simply remove the adapters or sort the reads out based on different adapters and then remove the adapters? Either way, please look into this tool: http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/

    Best regards,

      cutadapt is good tool for adapter removal and trimming.

        TrimGalore is a helpful wrapper that works with Cutadapt and FastQC if you want to, for example trim different sequences from each end...

          CASAVA 1.8.2 has a built in adapter-masking option that can be called up by using the --adapter-sequence flag. You will need to point it to a fasta file that contains the adapter sequence you want trimmed.

            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...

            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...
