are there any tools available to trim solid reads length? for example, I want to extract first 30bp.
Thanks!
Thanks!

No tools that I know of. Both Emboss and Galaxy do not seem to have a way (although there are so many programs in both that it is hard to tell.) Trimming is trivial to do in perl or another language. If you are a "layer 3" bioinformatics person (see http://www.homolog.us/blogs/?p=85) then it will take less time to write the program than to respond back to this message. :-) -
OK, I wrote one, but not so fast, that's why I ask here to check whether there is some tool to do it already.Comment

I've managed to do it by double-encoding, passing through the fastx-toolkit, then reversing the double-encoding.Comment

Are there any new ways to do this?Comment

I don't understand. "trim" = cut ? zurechtstutzen
Nor do I know/understand Emboss,Galaxy,layer 3,
double-encoding,fastx.
I just feel, there must be something wrong with bioinformatics,
if cutting the length of a sequence gets a thread here.Comment

Let's reiterate what westerman said:Originally posted by gsgs View Post
Or, for that matter, reading through all the posts in this thread, then asking if anyone has thought up their new favourite way to trim reads to a particular length.Originally posted by westermanComment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
