I have app 70 RNA-seq samples on drosophila. When going through the FastQC, there are three red flags to almost all the samples. I'm new to this field and could anyone tell what was wrong and what I should do (please in some details)? Great thanks!

Short answer .. no need to worry. Proceed with data analysis.

A "failed' flag in FastQC should be considered as a guide. It does not automatically mean that the data is bad.
The GC plot "bulge" may represent bacterial (endo-symbionts) that some drosophila populations have. (This may or may not apply in your case).Last edited by GenoMax; 08-21-2015, 09:08 AM.

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
