When looking at our data the first 10 to 12 bases look strange i FASTQC both for baseq qaulity and composition. This is well known for RNAseq data.
The question now is should I just trim them and the last 3 bases or leave it as it is. Because there seems to be a bias but i think aligner like STAR or subjunc can deal with it.
Also does TopHat2 do soft clipping, and could this cause a problem.
Many thanks.
