I MiSeqed heterogeneous templates amplified via rolling cycle amplification (RCA) by a specific 6-nt primer. PE reads were merged into single ones around 500 nt. As a consequence of RCA, some of them consist of 100-200 nt repeats from short-size templates. Is anyone aware of tools that can process, extract, and consensus these kinds of reads? Many thanks.

You could take an example sequence and then use "bbduk.sh" from BBMap suite in filter mode to extract reads containing that sequence with "literal=sequence_you_want" option. Guide to use bbduk is here. -
I believe that is what I want. Thanks!Comment

GenoMax: Can I extract/separate reads with 0, 1, or 2 motifs (the motif is the same)? Could BB scripts do this job?Comment
-
Possibly. You will have to play with parameters for bbduk.sh. "0" should be easy to get.Comment

Okay, I will try. ThanksComment

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...
