  • Adapter existence only in _2 RNA-seq data

    Hi.

    While i was looking at some FASTQC results, i realized that in test_1.fq file FASTQC didn't find any adapter or over-expressed sequence. Although on the other hand FASTQC found illumina's adapter on test_2.fq file.

    1) I thought that illumina's machine at the end of the process, removes automatically all adapter sequences while it seems that it doesn't

    2) Also i realized that there are reads constituting by sequences like this:

    Code:
    adapterSequence--adapterSequence--readDequence
    Is that possible ? Is it possible two or more adapter sequences merged together and then read start ? How that bias occurred ?

    3) Finally is there any way of getting out the 100% of the reads ? Nothing less and nothing more. Just the reads. I'm asking because it finally seems that inside the "reads" there are sequences that have nothing to do with real reads.

    Any tool/article/video will be helpful.

    Thank you.

    Only on MiSeq's, on-board analysis software (if it is being used), has the option of removing adapters (if they are present in the read) as a part of pre-processing.

    That is the reason trimming programs exist. Popular options are BBDuk (from BBMap), trimmomatic, cutadapt (and others). All have threads of their own on SeqAnswers.

      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...
