  • Trimming paired end RNAseq - Trimmomatic

    Hello --

    I've begun pre-processing of my paired-end RNA seq data (run on Illumina HiSeq).

    After running fastqc on my samples, I noticed some have overrepresented sequences corresponding to adaptors.

    I've been trying to use Trimmomatic to remove the adaptors, however, after Trimming I get MORE over represented reads than I do before trimming! I'm not sure what's going on.

    For instance, in my unprocessed read, I'll have a single overpresented sequence corresponding to adapter index 1. Once trimmed and processed by trimmomatic, I'll have 25 overrepresented sequences, all corresponding to different variants of the adapter index 1 sequence.

    Here is my command line:

    Code:
    TrimmomaticPE -phred33 /R1_001.fastq.gz /R2_001.fastq.gz /R1_pairedout /R1_unpairedout /R2_pairedout /R2_unpairedout ILLUMINACLIP:/TruSeq3-PE.fa:2:30:10 LEADING:5 TRAILING:5 AVGQUAL:20
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong? The same thing occurs even if I leave out the ILLUMINACLIP line.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
