    Trimming seq data using Trimmomatic confirmation

    Dear all,

    I received my HiSeq Illumina RNAseq data and want to run trimmomatic to remove bad quality reads and trim adapters. I have used trimmomatic before but I am currently in doubt if I create the adapter file in a correct way, can someone please correct me if I'm wrong?

    Sequencing happened on Illumina HiSeq4000 using NEBnext kit for the library construction.

    From the sequencing facility I have received the adapter and index sequences (e.g for my first sample):

    Adapter:
    5' Adapter: 5'-AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT-3'
    3' Adapter(lowercase 6bp bases is Index) 5'-GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACatcacgATCTCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTG-3

    index:
    CTGGCATA;CGGCTATG

    - I do not understand why I receive two indexes for a single sample? A single sample, needs only one adapter with one specific index? Correct?

    - Trimmomatic needs an adapter file and I will create as follows (with all adapters and indeces in a single file):

    >Prefix_AdapterPE1/1
    AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT
    >Prefix_AdapterPE1/2
    GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACctggcataATCTCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTG

    With the index in capitals also, but just to show that I will manually add the index sequence. I will do this for all received index sequences, added to a single adapter file and will finally run Trimmomatic.

    Any comments are welcome!

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2


    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
