I'm a beginner in RNAseq analysis (Illumina, PE reads). In FastQC, I got a failure on "Per base N content" towards the 3' end (95-99bp). I would expect quality score to drop here but the scores are above 32. Is this normal?

Can you post the plot? It is possible that a fraction (above the threshold) of the reads have N's in those positions. Those could be trimmed out. -
RNAseq fastqc - Failed "Per base N content"
Thanks GenoMax for your prompt feedback.
Here you have the plots.Comment

That is what I had thought (looks good otherwise). A bit of trimming should get rid of the N's. Most aligners will also soft-clip those N's if they are at the end of the reads.Comment

Nothing to worry about then? Thanks!Comment

Nope. Go ahead and trim the reads (lots of other threads on trimming programs).
Re-check FastQC afterwards and that "fail" should be gone.Comment

Many organizations study rare diseases, but few have a mission as impactful as Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM). “We are all about changing outcomes for children,” explained Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, President and CEO of the group. The institute’s initial goal was to provide rapid diagnoses for critically ill children and shorten their diagnostic odyssey, a term used to describe the long and arduous process it takes patients to obtain an accurate...12-16-2024, 07:57 AM -
