  • Fastp - I keep getting the message: 'option needs value: --split_prefix_digits'

    I have just started using fastp recently. I am trying to use it on some reads I obtained from SRA (I am practicing bioinformatics tools on other data before I get my data back). I decided to do the trimming/filtering and deduplication in two separate steps because the Github page for fastp says, "WARNING: all these three operations will interfere deduplication for SE data, and --cut_front or --cut_right may also interfere deduplication for PE data. The deduplication algorithms rely on the exact matchment of coordination regions of the grouped reads/pairs."

    I have been successful in trimming/filtering, but my code for removing duplicates does not seem to work.
    To remove the duplicate reads from the trimmed/filtered reads, I wrote the following:
    fastp -i 144h_1filter.fastq -o 144h_1done.fastq --disable_adapter_trimming --disable_quality_filtering -disable_length_filtering --dedup --html 144h_1done.html

    I keep getting a message saying:
    option needs value: --split_prefix_digits

    I tried running it again adding the --split_prefix_digits option with a value of 4, but I continue getting the same message saying "option needs value: --split_prefix_digits."

    Any help would be great. Thank you!

    Your code has a typo, you are missing the double hash mark for the length filter
    Code:
    --disable_length_filtering
    you have in your provided code
    Code:
    -disable_length_filtering
    correcting this removes the error that you are seeing.

        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...
