    FastQC result and cleaning sequence

    Hello,
    I need your help for the cleaning of a sequence. I got a big Fastq file issued from an illumina sequening and even if it was supposed to be cleaned before I got it, when I do a Fastqc test, I obtain in the overrepresented sequences category a long table with about 12 sequences of ribosomal RNA that have no hit as possible sources (I got hits when I blast them on the NCBI Site); they are all similar, it's just some bases of the sequences that vary. And I also got strange results like RNA PCR Primer and of course my adaptators. I got rid of the adaptators by a simple Cutadapt, but I still have the other overrepresented sequences. How can I eliminate them, cause I suppose that cutadapt is not adapted to do that, is it?
    Thank you for all the answer you'll be able to give me.
    K.

    Aside from adapter removal, I don't know that I'd worry about removing ribosomal sequences from the fastq files. Aligning is quick enough to not worry about those and you can filter them out of your GTF file if you want to ignore them downstream.

      Ok, thank you for your answer, I will let them in that case and deal with them later.

        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
