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.

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
