    My question is related, but not quite the same, which is: I need to get a sub-string of the sequence and the corresponding quality score for each of the entries, the file format untouched. My Illumina reads consists of 101bp long. I want remove the first 10bp and last 25bp then only the middle 66bp left.

    The reason I need do this is my DNA sequence is methylated and the first 10 and last 25bp seem not having good quality in general so that I want get rid of them. My challenge is to remove both quality score and sequence correspondingly.
    Code:
    use Bio::SeqIO; use Bio::Seq::Quality;
    
    $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new('-format'=>'fastq' , '-file'=>'some.fasq');
    
    my $out_fastq = Bio::SeqIO->new( -format => 'fastq', '-file'=> 'subset.fastq');
    
    while((my $line = $seqio->next_seq() ) { 
    # keep the id 
    # substring the sequence (from 11 to 66) 
    # substring the quality score (from 11 to 66) $out_fastq->write_seq($line); }
    Or any tools there to do my job?

    Thanks a lot!

    Yifang,

    First rule of coding, never write your own when a tool already exist to do what you want. The FASTX-Toolkit has a utility to do exactly what you want, namely the fastx_trimmer. You give an input file (fasta or fastq), the postion of the first and last base you wish to keep (in your case 11 and 76) and it will produce a trimmed (bases and quality) file.

      Thanks a lot kmcarr! I was searching for it, just missed the inside. I will give it a try.

      Best!

        Code:
        awk '{print ; getline } {print substr($0, 11, 76) ; getline; print ; getline ; print substr($0, 11, 76) }' input.fastq

            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...
