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

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
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
