    How to trim dual index adapters with Trim Galore!

    Hi everybody,
    I am trying to trim some adapters with Trim Galore from my bisulfite sequencing data, but I don't know what command to use.
    It has been really difficult to take the information of library construction and I only know that it has been done using IDT unique dual indexing adapters in paired end data, detailed as follows:

    1 - P5 ATATGCGC, P7 CTGATCGT
    30 - P5 AACGTCTG, P7 GCGTCATT
    31 - P5 TATCGGTC, P7 ATCCGGTA
    32 - P5 CGCTCTAT, P7 CGTTGCAA

    When doing the FASTQC analysis I have found some overrepresented sequences such as:
    - In one of the sequence of the pair
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    - In the other sequence of the pair
    GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
    TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    An also in the adapter content section the Illumina Universal adapters are identified

    Does all this make sense?
    So I need to add something more to those P5 and P7 adapter sequences when running Trim Galore?

    Will this command be correct for the first example of unique dual index adapters?

    > trim_galore --paired -a ATATGCGC -a2 CTGATCGT -q 15 --stringency 5 -e 0.05 --length 50 --fastqc --gzip file_1.fastq.gz file_2.fastq.gz

    Thanks in advance!

    Index sequences are never part of an actual read in Illumina sequencing so you are never going to find index sequences you noted above in R1/R2 reads.

    As for the poly-A and ploy-G (no signal, two color chemistry) you just need to remove them during trimming.

      Thanks for your answer!
      As the only information of the sequencing service was that about the dual index adapters I though that those were the sequences that I need to trim.
      So for the command how do I need to add this poly A, T and Gs?
      One by one in each sequence file? or combining the paired end sequences somehow?

      Thanks again!

        I suggest you try "bbduk.sh" from BBMap suite instead. A guide is available. You can trim out all these things in one pass.

        I am not a trim galore user but you may be able to additional specify poly-A and poly-G there as well.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
