  • UMI tools versus bcl2fastq2

    Hi All,

    I just found out that bcl2fastq2 also handles adapter trimming and UMI extraction right at the level of basecall to fastq conversion. If that is available, why would anyone use UMI_tools software?

    Also, if we used bcl2fastq2 in the right way, is there a need to deduplicate using Picard or UMI_tools post alignment?

    Please share your experience as I am new to UMI processing. (Illumina NextSeq 500 miRNA single-end reads of length 75 bp)

    Thank you,
    Ritzriya.

      bcl2fastq will only transfer the UMI information into the read header and trim them out of the reads as an option - nothing else.
      UMI-tools are more sophisticated and have many additional functions.

          Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
          by seqadmin



          Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

          Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
          by seqadmin




          Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
