I was uploading my RNA-seq assembly in TSA and I am not sure how to proceed. 743 sequences from my assembly got flagged with Code(VECTOR_MATCH) UniVec vector: gnl|uv|NGB00150.1:1-46 Ambion FirstChoice RLM-RACE 3' RACE adapter. I find it weird because I thought I already removed adapters prior to assembly using trimmomatic + fastqc. I have searched for the sequence of the adapter. What I want to know is how do I safely trim out the adapter sequence. I mean what if the vector is at the middle portion of the sequence, is it still acceptable to just remove the chunk and merge the two segments together? I could not find any sources to answer this at the moment that's why I am here.

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
