    Primer filtering with bbduk / bbduk2.sh

    Hello,

    I have merged Illumina reads and try to filter out all reads that have both, a recognisable fwrd and a recognisable reverse primer and then to trimm those primers.

    And I'd like to do this in as few commands as possible.

    So far I am using the following code for filtering. Note that if I specify a restrictleft & restrictleft argument no primers are found for some reason

    Code:
    bbduk2.sh in=16S_analysis/XXX.fna \
                            fliteral=CCTACGGGNBGCASCAG,GACTACNVGGGTATCTAATCC \
                            minkmerhits=2 \
    			k=17 \
    			copyundefined \
    			rcomp=t \
    			hammingdistance=1 \
    			outm='16S_analysis/with_Primer.fasta' \
    			out='16S_analysis/no_F_Primer.fasta' \
    			stats='16S_analysis/Primer_stats.txt'\
                            overwrite=true \
    			-Xmx6g
    I can now take this file a search for the foward primer, trimm with lliteral and then do it for the reverse primer. But this is not ideal. Can it be done in one step?

    thanks!

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    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...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    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
