    trimmomatic syntax help

    Hi! I am trying to use trimmomatic in palindrome mode to remove adaptor sequence from readthrough past the end of my fragment.
    (My fragments are ~200 nt, and I sequenced with a 2X251 MiSeq run).
    I am having trouble getting the syntax right. Below is command I'm using but I keep just getting a usage message, so I must be typing something in wrong.

    I'm a bench scientist in the process of learning coding by doing, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me spot the noob error. Thanks!


    java -jar `which trimmomatic.jar` /opt/applications/trimmomatic/0.30/trimmomatic.jar
    PE -phred33 -trimlog 092713log1.log
    2013-5_S5_L001_R1_001.fastq 2013-5_S5_L001_R2_001.fastq 092713pairedR1.fastq 092713unpairedR1.fastq
    092713pairedR2.fastq 092713unpariedR2.fastq ILLUMINACLIP:Nexterai7Multiplex2_PE_barcode5.fasta:4:30:7:1:true


    Here's the error I get back. I assume it's the program's way of informing me that I am entering the parameters incorrectly.

    Usage:
    PE [-threads <threads>] [-phred33|-phred64] [-trimlog <trimLogFile>] <inputFile1> <inputFile2> <outputFile1P> <outputFile1U> <outputFile2P> <outputFile2U> <trimmer1>...
    or:
    SE [-threads <threads>] [-phred33|-phred64] [-trimlog <trimLogFile>] <inputFile> <outputFile> <trimmer1>...

    get rid of `which trimmomatic.jar`.... this is a command you use to locate files when you do not know the path.... seeing as this function returns the path, that is what you use

        Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
        by SEQadmin2



        CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

        Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
