  • Trim Galore output issue

    I have both RRBS and RNAseq datasets that I'm trying to filter for quality and trim adaptors using Trim Galore. When I run it on the RRBS fq files using the --RRBS option, the resulting fq output looks fine:

    But when I run it on the RNAseq samples without the --RRBS option, there are additional spaces in the fastq output:

    I've tried running it a few different ways, and discovered that I only get the output with added spaces when I don't use the --RRBS option. My question is how do I fix this issue? I don't want to use the --RRBS option with the RNAseq data, as it will remove an additional 2bp from the trimmed reads. Is there a way to prevent Trim Galore from adding these spaces? Or is there a way for me to remove the spaces from the output files? Thanks!

    The simplest way might be to use awk? (but will be slow)

    awk '{if(length($0)>=1)print $0}' input.fq
    something like that, I haven't tested the code though...

      This was a bug that had been introduced accidentally... If you get the latest version of Trim Galore it should be fine, sorry for the inconvenience caused. This is from the latest release notes:

      Code:
      10-09-13: Version 0.3.3 released
      
          Fixed a bug what was accidentally introduced which would add an additional empty line in single-end trimming mode

        Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
        by seqadmin



        Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

        Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
        by seqadmin




        Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
