  • FastQC results for 16s reads

    Hi

    I have some FastQC results I have generated from Illumina 16s sequences. I have attached an example of the results for one of the demultiplexed fastq files, but they all look simillar.

    I think that the per base quality score looks ok but I am not sure about the other statistics. I have only worked with WGS data before and I haven't been able to find any information on if these are normal.

    Any information/links to resources on if these look ok would be really helpful.

    Thanks
    Michelle

    I think they look OK. The thing with 16S reads is that they are amplicons, and that all the
    sequences are very similar.

    I had seen a document on the website of an Italian company named IGATech some months ago,
    which showed typical FastQC plots for 16S data, and improved plots with their method,
    which I think involved some type of heterogeneity spacers, but I can't find it now.

      Hi Mastal

      Thanks for the reply. I thought that might be the case, I'm just trying to understand the data better.

      I managed to find a bit of a tutorial about this too.

        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...
