    Trimmomatic - default settings?

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if someone could kindly share some of their traditional or "default" settings should a person use for Trimmomatic, which have worked for their Trimmomatictasks. I am going to try to use it for the first time and I was wondering what setting I should use.

    1) seed mismatches
    2) palindrome clip threshold
    3) simple clip threshold

    4) Sliding window.

    Thank you,

    The trimmomatic web page gives examples for use with SE or PE reads which should answer your questions.

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
