    Do not know Adapters inside Sequences

    I have ~100 Bissulfite-Seq fastq files and ~100 RNA-Seq fastq files representing many samples. All of the seq files were produced by Illumina tech.
    I want to pre-process the fastq files by removing bad-quality base calls and adapters. The problem is that I do not know any adapter used for any of these files.
    My question is: Is there any default adapters for Illumina Seq? I found in the documentation of Trim Galore that the default adapter is (AGATCGGAAGAGC). Shall i use it?

    You could use Trimmomatic, it comes with a file of Illumina adapter sequences, though you would have to guess which version of the adapters are used in your data.

    One way to find out which adapters are in your data would be to do 'grep' for the adapter sequence and see how many times it occurs in your data.

      There is a tool called samstats that looks for a very common chain in your sequences. Try to run it and it will show you your adapters sequence

        Thank you very much indeed @mastal and @AJERYC and sorry for late reply.
        I used Trimmomatic and it works fine!

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
