  • FastQC result and cleaning sequence

    Hello,
    I need your help for the cleaning of a sequence. I got a big Fastq file issued from an illumina sequening and even if it was supposed to be cleaned before I got it, when I do a Fastqc test, I obtain in the overrepresented sequences category a long table with about 12 sequences of ribosomal RNA that have no hit as possible sources (I got hits when I blast them on the NCBI Site); they are all similar, it's just some bases of the sequences that vary. And I also got strange results like RNA PCR Primer and of course my adaptators. I got rid of the adaptators by a simple Cutadapt, but I still have the other overrepresented sequences. How can I eliminate them, cause I suppose that cutadapt is not adapted to do that, is it?
    Thank you for all the answer you'll be able to give me.

    Aside from adapter removal, I don't know that I'd worry about removing ribosomal sequences from the fastq files. Aligning is quick enough to not worry about those and you can filter them out of your GTF file if you want to ignore them downstream.

      Ok, thank you for your answer, I will let them in that case and deal with them later.

        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...
