  • Telomere filtering of MiSeq PE data

    Working on de novo assembly, but this particular problem is more about pre-filtering telomeric reads (the sequence of the repeat is known).

    Any robust workflows to filter 150 nt MiSeq reads for telomeric reads? Or more abstractly, for filtering reads with a particular known kmer of varying repeat length, such as (NNNNN)X? Thanks.

    Trimmomatic might be able to do this. Can you send me some example reads and what sequence you'd like to remove?

      My starting assumption (born out by the literature) is that telomeric sequence is a repeat of "TTAGGG".

      The proposed workflow is to pass each fastq file through fastx_clipper

      fastx_clipper -Q33 -A TTAGGG -i input.fastq -o output.fastq
      I think fastx_clipper is actually removing reads with telomeric reads, and to use it downstream in velvet as paired reads I need to ensure that both pairs are present.

      I figured I would borrow khmer's pair-sorting functionality, but it works on interleaved files, so interleave then sort.

      python ~/khmer/sandbox/interleave.py read1.fastq read2.fastq > interleaved.fastq

      python ~/khmer/sandbox/strip-and-split-for-assembly.py interleaved.fastq

        Best Practices for Single-Cell Sequencing Analysis
        by seqadmin



        While isolating and preparing single cells for sequencing was historically the bottleneck, recent technological advancements have shifted the challenge to data analysis. This highlights the rapidly evolving nature of single-cell sequencing. The inherent complexity of single-cell analysis has intensified with the surge in data volume and the incorporation of diverse and more complex datasets. This article explores the challenges in analysis, examines common pitfalls, offers...
