  • MaSuRCA adapter trimming

    Hello,

    I am currently trying MaSuRCA, I get nice results but I think they can be further improved.

    I made some test on a subset of reads, with or without clipping adapters before passing it to MaSuRCA. As advised in the short manual, I got better results with the full reads.

    When quorum starts it says in quorum.err: "Loading contaminant sequences", so I assume that there is somewhere a contaminant library, such as for example masurca/share/adapters.jf

    in the output PREFIX.cor.fa, I have plenty of my adapters, how can I specify my adapter sequences to quorum/MaSuRCA? Should I make a new adapters.jf file? My adapters are simple illumina TruSeq.

    Has somebody done that?

    Many thanks for all your thoughts !

    Ooops, I*should have had a more careful look. While I*don't know what is exactly in the share/adapter.jf I*made my own:

    ../bin/jellyfish count -m 24 -s 5k -C -t 10 -o adapters_yvan.jf adapters.fa && mv adapter.jf adapter.jf_old && ln -s adapters_yvan.jf adapter.jf

    And it works well. I could have deleted the post but some might find it useful.

    Best,

    Yvan

      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...
