    How to remove adaptor from the NGS data?

    I did one lane illumina Hiseq, the output is 400 million reads. The question is there are about 1,800 different adaptors in the raw data file, is there any easy and fast way to remove those 1,800 different adaptors?

    Do you want to simply remove the adapters or sort the reads out based on different adapters and then remove the adapters? Either way, please look into this tool: http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/

    Best regards,

      cutadapt is good tool for adapter removal and trimming.

        TrimGalore is a helpful wrapper that works with Cutadapt and FastQC if you want to, for example trim different sequences from each end...

          CASAVA 1.8.2 has a built in adapter-masking option that can be called up by using the --adapter-sequence flag. You will need to point it to a fasta file that contains the adapter sequence you want trimmed.

            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
