This sequence is a simple repeat identical to its own complement (not reverse-complement) when shifted by two positions, which makes me suspicious. Just a general suspicion, though; I can't identify any culprits. If not for dpryan's extraordinary diligence in analyzing the raw data I would have thought it was a software problem. But since that seems to have been ruled out, I wonder if the self-complementary nature might be important. Have you tried aligning read1 and read2 independently to the reference, to see if in that context, read2 might map without soft-clipping?

It still could be base caller software (RTA) that creates BCL files. This is more likely if the run was paused and restarted or the available disk space was limited sometime during run.
PS. Since only a subset of reads have been affected it might be useful to check if they are from the same tile or random.Last edited by nucacidhunter; 01-28-2017, 09:26 PM.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
