  • FastQC output: Do I trim these?

    I am looking at the per base quality score of my RNA-Seq data, and found that the quality looks great. (as attached)

    But when I look at the per base sequence, the first 10 bases seems to be varying as if certain bases is preferred at certain positions. (as attached)

    Do I trim these off?

    That's likely caused by the "random" priming, in which case there's no need to trim it off (and doing so wouldn't improve anything anyway).

      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...
