  • Removal of adapters and barcodes

    Hi!

    I want to compare an existing result from QIIME to cd-hit-otu-illumina.


    cd-hit asks

    "Barcodes should be removed. All the tags must start at 5' with the same rRNA primer shared by all rRNA genes (rare wrong base calls or small variations are ok - we will filter and trim them away). "

    I know trimmomatic, but i think it can only remove adapters?

    Any idea for removal of barcodes and adaptor sequences?

    Thank you!

    Trimmomatic can remove anything you put in a fasta file.

      oh, i just saw the description of trimmomatic.
      Could you please advice me to remove adapters + 8mer barcodes from the unpaired r1 r2 fastq files? I would be very happy!

        As long as the bar codes occur after quite a bit of adapter sequence, you can just ignore them. For example, if "a" is adapter sequence and "B" is barcode, and your sequence looks like this:

        aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaBBBBBBBBaaaaaaaa

        ...then you can just ignore the last "BBBBBBBBaaaaaaaa" and feed the initial part into a trimming program. Or you can substitute all barcodes for BBBBBBBB. What do you mean by "unpaired r1 r2 fastq files"? If you have r1 and r2 files, they should be paired, and trimmed together.

          Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
          by seqadmin


          The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          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...
