It could also be rRNA; what does the GC plot (per sequence GC content) look like?

The problem that you describe in the first few bases is often seen with RNA-Seq data,
and is thought to be due to the random priming being not so random in practice.
This has previously been disussed in various threads, one of which is here:
The trimmomatic adapter trimming only trims adapter sequences from the 3' ends of the reads.Comment

Thanks for all the answers!!! and the link
sarvidsson: The GC plot looks terrible there are 3 peaks in the reads is not a normal distribution.Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
