  • Trouble With Trim_Galore processing paired reads

    Hello Everyone,

    I am new to this, and have been havigjn soem trouble with trim galore. I think I've reached that point where I cannot see what is causing my error and I thought I would ask you for your colelctive input:

    Here is my trim_galore command:
    ./trim_galore -a AGATCGGAAGAGC -t --paired /media/daveboBaggins/R2_001.fastq /media/daveboBaggins/R1_001.fastq

    I get as an output:
    SUMMARISING RUN PARAMETERS
    ==========================
    Input filename: /media/daveboBaggins/R2_001.fastq
    Quality Phred score cutoff: 20
    Quality encoding type selected: ASCII+33
    Adapter sequence: 'AGATCGGAAGAGC'
    Maximum trimming error rate: 0.1 (default)
    Minimum required adapter overlap (stringency): 1 bp
    Minimum required sequence length for both reads before a sequence pair gets removed: 20 bp
    All sequences will be trimmed by 1 bp on their 3' end to avoid problems with invalid paired-end alignments with Bowtie 1

    Writing final adapter and quality trimmed output to
    R2_001_trimmed.fq


    >>> Now performing quality (cutoff 20) and adapter trimming in a single pass for the adapter sequence: 'AGATCGGAAGAGC' from file


    I get the following error message:
    open3: exec of /home/daveboBaggins/cutadapt-1.2.1/cutadapt -f fastq -e 0.1 -q 20 -O 1 -a AGATCGGAAGAGC /media/daveboBaggins/7_R2_001.fastq failed at /home/daveboBaggins/trim_galore_zip/trim_galore line 453

    I have gone back to line 453 which is as follows:
    open3 (\*WRITER, \*TRIM, \*ERROR, "$path_to_cutadapt -f fastq -e $error_rate -q $cutoff -O $stringency -a $adapter $filename") or die "Failed to launch Cutadapt: $!";

    I have made sure I added the path to cutadapt in the perl code. But still cannot see what I am doing wrong? I have gone back and the pathway to cutadapt is in the $PATH variable. Any suggestions will be much appreciated

    While we wait for trimgalore folks to chime in (tomorrow) here is something to test:

    Have you checked to make sure that cutadapt has execute permissions?

      That's exactly what I would have asked. When you enter the same path to Cutadapt that you also find within Trim Galore into a command line, e.g.

      /home/user/cutadapt/bin/cutadapt

      do you see the Cutadapt help? If not, you need to get Cutadapt to run before launching Trim Galore.

        Thanks for your reply I appreciate it. I will be in front of my work computer in an hour and change and will check that out

            Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
            by seqadmin



            The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

            Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
            by seqadmin



            Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
