  • fastx-clipper to remove adapters problem

    Hi everyone,
    today I tried to remove adapters using fastx-cliper, it worked all right, but the result is a little confused. here is the situation:
    first I check the sequence quality using fastqc, and it said there is an Overrepresented sequences
    AGATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACAGAGATCTATCTCGT, 7500 counts, and the Possible Source is TruSeq Adapter, Index 5 (97% over 37bp).
    so I want to remove the adapter using fastx-cliper. and the command is
    fastx_cliper -a Adaper_seq -C -i input.fastq -o outfile.fastq
    but it removed much more than 7500 reads (about 20000 reads), and it also trimmed many other reads whitch contain part of the adapter. so the outputfile contain all length reads instead of equal lengh reads. in addition, it also remove a lot of short (<5bp) reads, but the reads in input file were all equal.
    there must be something wrong, and did I used the wrong parameters? could I only remove the reads containing the whole adapter? and if I want to do so, can the fastx-toolkit do this job? or is there some other tools to recommend

    thanks a lot!

    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...
