  • Can Trimmomatic handle Colorspace Reads

    I have a RNASeq fastq file (first 4 lines are):
    =====
    @SRR179591.1.1 mendel_20110320_FRAG_BC_Ryan_RNA_Seq_2_58_235_F3 length=50
    T.33.2010.0313.1231222320.1.3312.0.12.0212.0.013000
    +SRR179591.1.1 mendel_20110320_FRAG_BC_Ryan_RNA_Seq_2_58_235_F3 length=50
    !!A+!@>A5!@59%!=A'6=4@5'A!9!55=1!(!0-!'%-%!&!%&%60'
    =====

    This fastq format is Color-space. I am wondering if Trimmomatic can handle such file by trimming reads based on quality and adapters?
    (I did not see in the documentation of Trimmomatic that it can handle Color-space reads).

    You will need to use Cutadapt: https://code.google.com/p/cutadapt/

      Thank @GenoMax.
      Actually, I have 100 fastq files. 95 of them contain quality values encoded in Phred33 (so I processed them with Trimmomatic), while 5 files are Color-space. I wanted to use Trimmomatic for all the 100 files for simplicity but it seems that I need to process those 5 files with Cutadapt.

        If you are worried about consistency then you could re-process them all with cutadapt.

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
