  • FastQC GGGGG Kmer

    Hi all,

    I sequenced a genome on the Illumina MiSeq using paired ends. When analyzing the second read in FastQC, there is a steady increase of a over represented kmer (GGGGG).

    Does anyone know what would cause this effect and whether it is indicative of an underlying problem?

    I have sometimes seen stretches of poly G (as well as poly A) when the inserts are very short and you read into the Illumina adapters, and then past the end of the adapters.

    Does the GGGGG kmer remain if you quality trim your reads and remove adapters?

      The GGGGG kmer does disappear after trimming.

      I just wondered what could be the cause of such a artifact. Thanks

        once you get past the end of the adapters, it is either complete rubbish, or the sequences on the flow cell.

          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...
