  • How to trim 454 low quality sequences

    Hi everybody:
    I have got a run of 454 Titanium sequences, however i found there has a few bases whose quality is below 20. Is there has any software to trim the bad bases or sequences? Thank you.

    Hi, our ngs_backbone software does that.

      Why do you want to do the trimming? Isn't the Roche pipeline already trimming off the poor quality bits of the reads?

      Where do you want to do the trimming? What I mean is, do you want to work with the SFF file, FASTA+QUAL, or maybe FASTQ files? Would you be interested help to write a python script doing this using Biopython?

        Well, the quality of the sequences released by some 454 services is quite questionable and it is worth to take a look and to trim some more.
        If you want to take a look at how ngs_backbone does it you can do it, it's python code and it's based on biopython and on lucy.

          @Jose - Understood. I was really wondering if the OP was looking at the untrimmed output from the SFF file (with all the poor quality regions included) rather than the trimmed output (where Roche will have removed most of the rubbish).

            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...
