Hi,
I've got some old Illumina RNA Seq data and there's an unusual trend in terms of Kmer detection. I have 16 samples done over two chips, 200bp inserts, read length of 78.
GGGGG follows an exponential growth in score as bp increases and TTTTT remains relatively high. This is common to almost all samples in the first chip on both forward and reverse reads. On the second chip, the trend seems to be confined to reverse reads.
The per base quality isn't great so my next step will be to trim, however with the unusual trend I wondered if anyone had any theories as to why or how that could be occurring?
Thanks!

Differential Expression and Data Visualization: Recommended Tools for Next-Level Sequencing Analysis
After covering QC and alignment tools in the first segment and variant analysis and genome assembly in the second segment, we’re wrapping up with a discussion about tools for differential gene expression analysis and data visualization. In this article, we include recommendations from the following experts: Dr. Mark Ziemann, Senior Lecturer in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Deakin University; Dr. Medhat Mahmoud Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Baylor College of Medicine;...05-23-2023, 12:26 PM -
Continuing from our previous article, we share variant analysis and genome assembly tools recommended by our experts Dr. Medhat Mahmoud, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Baylor College of Medicine, and Dr. Ming "Tommy" Tang, Director of Computational Biology at Immunitas and author of From Cell Line to Command Line.

With new tools and computational resources being released regularly, it can be hard to determine which are best suited for the analysis process and which older tools continue to be maintained. In an effort to assist the sequencing community, we interviewed three highly skilled bioinformaticians about their recommended tools for several important analysis applications.
