  • sequence filtering

    Hi

    This may be a silly question, but I am wondering if there are some tools available to do broad category filtering? I am dealing with ancient DNA that comes from excavated samples and thus is heavily contaminated with all kind of bacteria. With all precautions against contamination the majority of reads are still of the bacterial origin from all kind of bacteria imaginable, which makes futile attempts to set up narrow filters. Is there a better way to filter at least most of bacterial sequences?

    You can see if DeconSeq will help:

      you can also see rNA, it is mainly an aligner but does also a good job on sequence filtering (you need to construct a database of sequences to be filtered) and quality trimming


      As the manual is not that good you can ask help to the developer, delfabbroATappliedgenomics.org

      Vezzi F., Del Fabbro C., Tomescu A.I., and Policriti A. rNA: a Fast and Accurate Short Reads Numerical Aligner. Bioinformatics, Vol.28, Issue 1, January 2012

      or



      I personally used to filter out a set of bacterial sequences and it worked pretty well

        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...
