  • 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!

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    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...
