  • FastQC warnings

    Hello,

    using FastQC I always get one error and two warnings for each of my samples (bacterial samples, WGS).

    Error:
    per base sequence conent
    --> here, I assume that tagmentation is the reason - so I can ignore this error warning. Someone told me that Illumina data usually fail here due to the fact that tagmentation is not as random as previously supposed

    Warnings (se figures)

    1. Sequence Length Distribution
    2. Sequence Duplication Levels

    Is this something to worry about? Why do I get warnings here?

    Sequence length distribution: it seems to be the result of trimming adapters

    Duplication Levels: deep sequencing in relation to library diversity

    per base sequence content: could be result of tagmentation but you have not posted this plot

      Neither of these warnings are worrisome.
      BTW, a 4 million base pair genome provides only 8 million possible places to start a sequence read. Any more reads that that and you will certainly have duplications.

          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...
