  • filter for sequences shared among replicates

    Hi all,

    I have small RNA sequence data for 5 treatment groups with 4 replicates each. For each replicate, I want to filter the read lists to only include those sequence found at least once in each replicate. In other words, if the sequence has a count of 0 in one replicate, it should be removed from every replicate in that treatment.

    Does anyone know how I could do this filter? Maybe there is a way in R using DESeq or genefilter? Or any other way? The lists are too long (1-2 million reads) to perform this in excel.

    Thanks,
    Claire

    By duplicate sequence, do you mean a read with another exact duplicate of that read in the same dataset? If so, you can do that with Dedupe in multiple steps using different set operations. Just start with a set of nonduplicate reads from one from replicate, and then for each other set, find the set intersection with the current set. After you do intersection 3 times you will only be left with reads shared by all sets. Finding each intersection takes a 3 steps (union then subtraction then intersection).

    To make sets with only one copy per sequence (necessary first step):
    dedupe.sh in=readsA.fq out=a.fq
    dedupe.sh in=readsB.fq out=b.fq
    ...etc, for each replicate.

    Set union (elements in A or B):
    dedupe.sh in=a.fq,b.fq out=a_or_b.fq

    Set subtraction (elements in B but not A):
    dedupe.sh in=a.fq,a_or_b.fq uniqueonly out=b_minus_a.fq

    Set intersection (shared members of A and B)
    dedupe.sh in=b.fq,b_minus_a.fq uniqueonly out=a_and_b.fq

    Dedupe is in BBTools.

      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...
