  • Trimming seq data using Trimmomatic confirmation

    Dear all,

    I received my HiSeq Illumina RNAseq data and want to run trimmomatic to remove bad quality reads and trim adapters. I have used trimmomatic before but I am currently in doubt if I create the adapter file in a correct way, can someone please correct me if I'm wrong?

    Sequencing happened on Illumina HiSeq4000 using NEBnext kit for the library construction.

    From the sequencing facility I have received the adapter and index sequences (e.g for my first sample):

    Adapter:
    5' Adapter: 5'-AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT-3'
    3' Adapter(lowercase 6bp bases is Index) 5'-GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACatcacgATCTCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTG-3

    index:
    CTGGCATA;CGGCTATG

    - I do not understand why I receive two indexes for a single sample? A single sample, needs only one adapter with one specific index? Correct?

    - Trimmomatic needs an adapter file and I will create as follows (with all adapters and indeces in a single file):

    >Prefix_AdapterPE1/1
    AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT
    >Prefix_AdapterPE1/2
    GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACctggcataATCTCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTG

    With the index in capitals also, but just to show that I will manually add the index sequence. I will do this for all received index sequences, added to a single adapter file and will finally run Trimmomatic.

    Any comments are welcome!

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    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...
