Thank you for your reply! If I want to do assembly afterwards, do I need to trim and filter the reads? Thank you very much! -
FastQC is a quality assessment program. It does not change any data or do actual analysis.
If you are planning to do alignments against a good reference then you don't strictly need to do any trimming/filtering. Aligners will soft clip any adapter sequence that may still be present.Leave a comment:

What we can learn from FastQC reports
Hi All,
I have a question: for a relatively "good" FastQC report, do we still need to do data pre-processing?
For example, my FastQC report has good adapter content, which shows 0. Do we still need to trim the adapters or filter the reads? Thank you!

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...
