Hi,
you might use the primer sequences (which might be obtained from the company) to split the data in an ITS and a 16S part which can be analysed separately. Run e.g. cutadapt on the data set with the ITS primer and save the untrimmed reads in a file, which you use as an input for the trimming with the 16S primers.

What to even do with pooled 16S and ITS amplicon sequences with no barcodes?
Hey there
I've been working exclusively with bioinformatics for a few years and following DNA extraction, I leave all my sequencing needs to be solved by sequencing facilities. Most of my projects require both 16S and ITS sequencing and in most cases, I've received the data in separate runs. Recently, I decided to evaluate a recent company from my country and they sent me the data for both amplicons in the same file. I thought that maybe the samples were multiplexed, but to my surprise, they said they just pool the libraries and run them without indexing per target.
Is there even a correct way to deal with this? I use a DADA2-based workflow, I thought about maybe doing a preliminary classification of each read (using just blast), then separating the targets and following my usual workflow, but this feels like a workaround I should not be taking.

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
