I am having trouble using skewer and I could use some help. I will wait to see if this thread is still active before going into the issue.
Thanks.

Hi all
I was able to get the issue figured out before posting my question. I am new to Skewer and it seems SO flexible that there are almost too many parameters to keep track of and to get the right combination of them working to get the right answer is a challenge.
In short, the problem I was having was that I was not using the correct -m setting for what I was trying to do. All I wanted to do was trim the primer sequence from the beginning of some paired-end MiSeq reads. The problem was that I kept trying to use the -m pe since these were paired-end reads. I had tried the -m head, but using just the individual sequence primer fna files, and it only worked for the R1 reads, but would not properly trim the R2s. I was finally able to get what I wanted using -m head, and referencing both the forward and reverse primer sequences as well as both the R1 and R2 together.
% skewer -m head -f solexa -x SM_V4_forward.fna -y SM_V4_reverse.fna Sample_R1_filtered.fastq Sample_R2_filtered.fastq -o Sample_filtered
Thanks again for your offers to help.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

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...-
