Using bbduk on Illumina PE hg19 fastq files from NextSeq. I have done adapter removal, quality trimming and contamination filtering. Is kmer masking needed or recommended before I align using bbmap? Thank you

Nope! That's just for special use-cases.Originally posted by cmccabe View PostUsing bbduk on Illumina PE hg19 fastq files from NextSeq. I have done adapter removal, quality trimming and contamination filtering. Is kmer masking needed or recommended before I align using bbmap? Thank you. -
Thank you.
The bbMap tools are amazingly fast and accurate.Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
