  • Quality trimming fastq 454 data?

    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone have suggestions for methods and parameters for effective quality trimming / filtering of 454 data? I have .fastq format data (no sff files )and would like to end trim and remove homopolymers. I don't need a complicated pipeline for other steps, as I've already barcode sorted and trimmed out adapter sequence.

    I have tried using FASTX toolkit's fastq_quality_filter which doesn't seem to be working properly, since it fails to remove some parts of the sequence below my set threshold. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I only be using this tool on my Illumina data?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi ,I studied the same data as you.You can use Galaxy's Build base quality distribution whcih can draw base quality distribution.and then you can saw your data's quality.Generally, That beginning of 5'&3' sequence usually are bad quality.

    I want to ask you how to trim adapter? I saw FASTX-TOOLKIT can handle it,but the default dummy adapter. Does it apply to 454's data?

      I tried prinseq-lite (http://sourceforge.net/projects/prinseq/) for quality filtering. It is also able to trim x bases from the end or beginning, perhaps suitable for you!

        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...
