  • trim Illumina fastq reads to even read lengths

    I have Illumina HiSeq fastq 1.9 files that have been quality trimmed. The sequence lengths range from 90 to 101 bp. I am using the Stacks pipeline, which requires equal length for all reads. Is there a simple way to trim the sequences in my files such that they are all 90bp long and control which end is trimmed? I have an Ubuntu 12 server.

    PS. I am aware of the Stacks Process_radtags script, but for numerous reasons this script cannot process my data (multiple enzymes used, uneven barcode lengths and multiplexed different samples).

    What about fastx_trimmer in the fastx toolkit (http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool...rimmer_usage)? In your case it should be something like:

    Code:
    fastx_trimmer -l 90 -i myseq.fastq -o myseq_even.fastq

      Thank you Dariober, I installed Fastx tools and the trimmer worked perfectly, well, it worked after I figured out the -Q 33 option.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
