Interpretation of FASTQC - Overrepresented Kmers

04-30-2014, 04:43 AM

Hello Everyone,

I am very new at NGS data procesing and I have a problem with my quality results.

Short summary about my experiment:
My starting material is a low quantity of RNA. In first step we use Ovation RNA-Seq System V2 and after this we perform Nextera.

From my MiSeq run I have got simmilar quality results for all my samples.

What could You tell me about quality of my experiment. Does it look good enough?
My initial Fastqc report indicates the presence of kmers?
What can I do to improve kmers results.

Is maybe something wrong with my sample preparation?

I looked for similar images of kmers on forum with no result.
If i could get some feed back on this, it would help a lot,
Thanks

Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool

by SEQadmin2

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.¹ But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
