    Trimming RNAseq data

    When looking at our data the first 10 to 12 bases look strange i FASTQC both for baseq qaulity and composition. This is well known for RNAseq data.

    The question now is should I just trim them and the last 3 bases or leave it as it is. Because there seems to be a bias but i think aligner like STAR or subjunc can deal with it.

    Also does TopHat2 do soft clipping, and could this cause a problem.

    Many thanks.

    Leave the first bases intact if this is RNAseq data. That should not cause any problems with mapping.

      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...

      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...
