  • Primer filtering with bbduk / bbduk2.sh

    Hello,

    I have merged Illumina reads and try to filter out all reads that have both, a recognisable fwrd and a recognisable reverse primer and then to trimm those primers.

    And I'd like to do this in as few commands as possible.

    So far I am using the following code for filtering. Note that if I specify a restrictleft & restrictleft argument no primers are found for some reason

    Code:
    bbduk2.sh in=16S_analysis/XXX.fna \
                            fliteral=CCTACGGGNBGCASCAG,GACTACNVGGGTATCTAATCC \
                            minkmerhits=2 \
    			k=17 \
    			copyundefined \
    			rcomp=t \
    			hammingdistance=1 \
    			outm='16S_analysis/with_Primer.fasta' \
    			out='16S_analysis/no_F_Primer.fasta' \
    			stats='16S_analysis/Primer_stats.txt'\
                            overwrite=true \
    			-Xmx6g
    I can now take this file a search for the foward primer, trimm with lliteral and then do it for the reverse primer. But this is not ideal. Can it be done in one step?

    thanks!

    Fabian

    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...
