@newfie: You could use the CROP command first followed by HEADCROP/trimming if you want to stick with trimmomatic. (If you want to remove an additional 4 bp from what was left after the trimming, then this won't work).
bbduk.sh will allow you to forcetrimright=n past a certain position.

True, but you can leave the adapters on and just cut adapter + 4 bp
I know PrinSeq has this option:
-trim_right
Trim sequence at the 3'-end by trim_right positions
but I never used it.

The problem with removing bases from the 3' end of the reads is that, even after adapter trimming, there may be some reads that had only a few bases of adapter sequence, so too short to be removed by trimmomatic, and you would be removing those instead of the miRS sequences.
As far as I know there isn't an option that does what you want in Trimmomatic, unless you start with reads all the same length without any adapter contamination.Leave a comment:

^^^^ or in other words i am wondering if there is a TRAILCROP option in Trimmomatic

Trimmoatic: Command for cutting bases from the start and end of the read
Hi everyone,
I am working with small non coding RNA data. I removed my adapter sequences from my data. However, there are random miRS of 4 bases attached to both the start and end of the reads. Hence, i wanted to remove 4 bases both from the start and end of the read. I used the command HEADCROP 4 to remove bases from the start of the read. However, i am not quite sure which command to use, to remove bases from the end of the read. the CROP command doesn't cut the bases at the end of the read, however it cuts the read to specified length by cutting the bases from the end of the read. The TRAILING command could be used, but i am not quite sure what would be threshold quality value that could trim the 4 random mirs. Because i need all the 4 bases to be uniformly trimmed across all the reads. Any thoughts? Opinion? Suggestions? I know cutadapt could be used in this case. But since i have already used trimmomatic to cut adapters i want to use the same for trimming the 4 bases from the start and end of the read.
Thanks

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...09-26-2023, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM -
