  • 16S V4 reads contain high % reverse primer

    Hi everyone,

    I am running BI analysis for 16S V4 samples that was run using 515F/806R, MiSeq 300 PE. In average, all samples have more than 200k reads.

    I run bduk below to remove the primers and more than 90% reads are trimmed out which only left 20k reads which I find it weird. I checked the stats output from bbduk and all samples contains really high % of reverse primer.

    Code:
    bbduk.sh in1=${SAMPLE}_R1_001.fastq.gz in2=${SAMPLE}_R2_001.fastq.gz \
    		out1=ra_${SAMPLE}_R1.fastq out2=ra_${SAMPLE}_R2.fastq \
    		ktrim=l k=$numk mink=$mink copyundefined=t \
    		literal="GTGCCAGCMGCCGCGGTAA,GGACTACHVGGGTWTCTAAT" hdist=1 stats=${SAMPLE}_stats.txt \
    		tpe tbo
    Can anyone help to advice if this is normal? I run the tool multiple time with another 16S V4 dataset and the same thing happened. I did compare with 16S V3-V4 dataset and it only has around 40-50% primers.

    I am still not really familiar with sequencing workflow so can anyone help me how to check this?

    Thank 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...
