    How to filter FASTQ Quality?

    FASTX can do FASTQ Quality Filter (http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool...mmandline.html),

    [-q N] = Minimum quality score to keep.
    [-p N] = Minimum percent of bases that must have [-q] quality.

    May do know usually how do you define the minimum quality score and minimum percent of bases?

    Thanks.

    It seems the new fastQ files have slightly different format that fastx quality filter tool cannot recognize it. Is there anything else out there?
    Thanks

      "New"? Since the FastQ format is not embedded in stone then I suppose there could be a popular new format. Haven't heard of one since Illumina switched gears a year or so ago. Anyway, you were asking about other tools. I am partial to trimmomatic myself.

        There is an option to specify the correct quality score.

        I've found fastx to be really slow, so I have switched to Trimmomatic.

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

          Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
          by SEQadmin2



          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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
          by SEQadmin2



          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...
