  • Very low merging yield with BBMerge vs PEAR

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to merge my reads (300bp, demultiplexed) using BBMerge and for my samples, sequencing results of the fungal ITS2 region, BBMerge yields much lower merged reads compared to PEAR (~50% vs ~90%, respectively). Most of the unmerged reads by BBMerge are ambiguous. Few questions:
    Is there something I can try with BBMerge?
    I've read here that PEAR results in a lot of FP, but can it be up to 50% of the sample?
    Many of my reads are longer than the actual length of the fragment sequenced (ITS2 region vary in size, 100-500bp), is BBMerge sensitive to post-adapters "garbage" bases?

    I'd rather not to trim my reads based on quality \ primers' sequence since it interferes with follow steps of the analysis.

    Thanks,
    Omer

    FLASh is a good choice to try.

      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...
