  • QIAseq FX DNA Library Kit adapters for trimming

    Can anyone point me to the sequences of QIAseq FX DNA Library Kit for adapters trimming in preprocessing? Illumina has exact sequences for trimming included in their manual, but I can't seem to find the same information in Qiagen's resources. Any suggestions on where to find them?

    Do a google search with "QIAseq FX DNA". Second link in that search should be a PDF file with title "QIAGEN® QIAseq FX DNA Library Kit Handbook". Check Appendix C in that file for sequences.

    Addendum : Those are just index/barcode sequences.

      Thank you - this is a piece of information I have already: I succesfully demultiplexed my samples and now want to run QC and preprocessing, so I would need sequences of adapters to trim. Illumina provides adapters sequences in their manual (like here) and I can't find a piece of corresponding information for Qiagen.

        The library is sequenced on Illumina system so the adapter sequences for trimming should be the same as Illumina adapters.

          Thanks a lot - I just ran FastQC on my samples and it indeed indicated that Illumina adapters are present. However, it's not clear to me which Illumina adapters sequences should I use for trimming - would it be ie TruSeq Universal Adapter or some others? How can I determine that? Or is it a piece of information that my lab should be able to provide me with?

          I tried to run BBmerge to determine adapters sequences but it didn't seem very informative (produced mostly N's).

            You may not have any adapters present if your inserts were of a good size and there was no read-through.

            BBMap suite provides an adapters.fa file in the "resources" directory. You can use it to scan your sequences using bbduk.sh. It contains adapter sequences for many commonly used library kits.

              It should be TruSeq as FastQC would indicate. I am not sure but you can try following:

                  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...
