Hi Thanh,

Questions are fine, that is what this mailing list is for. But please do try to cc the mailing list and start a new thread for new topics when possible.

To generate a length distribution (among other stats), the tool "NGS: QC and manipulation -> FastQC" is a quick method.

Take care,

Hi,
Thank you very much Jenny.
You are right. The FASTX-toolkit does some tolerances.
Now I got the output file after clipping full-length 3' adapter sequence. Is there any tool in Galaxy where I can draw some kind of graph or statistics showing distribution of the length versus number of the reads in the output file?
Sorry for asking many basic questions
Thanh

    Thanh,

    To hopefully be clearer, the part matched is clipped (whole or
    partial, and there is even some tolerance for low-frequency
    mismatches).

    I would suggest taking a few sequences out and running the tool on
    them to try it out. You could test for both length and mismatch
    constraints this way. (Perhaps even using constructed sequences
    that are modified to have specific adapter lengths and/or mismatch
    counts). This is a great way to get a feel for new tools in general.

    If you need more details about exactly how the algorithm works,
    you can read the original documentation and then if you still need
    help, try contacting the tool author (links at bottom of tool
    form). But this is a very popular, commonly used tool and what I
    have shared is how it is behaves to my knowledge & experience.
    There may not be much more to it.

    Best,

    Hi Jenny,
    Thank you.
    When you put the whole 3' adapter sequence into the Clipper, what
    will happen to the reads that only contains part of the adapter?
    Are they considered as not containing the adapter and
    subsequently non-clipped reads?

        Hi Thanh,

        Just enter the whole adapter sequence. The tool will match
        what is found in the input sequence and clip. The help
        graphic on the Clip form itself illustrates this - only one
        adapter is entered (can be entered) but a variable length is
        clipped from the input to produce the output.

        Thanks for posting this new question to the mailing list.
        This greatly helps us to track & provide the speediest replies.

        Best,

        Hi all,
        I am analyzing miRNA sequencing now. My data is 51bp, single
        -ended and ~5 M reads. I want to remove the adapter
        sequences from the reads before mapping to the genomes/known
        miRNA database.
        My 3' adapter sequence is : 5-AGATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCT-3. I
        found that many reads only contain part of the 3' adapter
        sequence. I am using FASTX-toolkit to clip it off. How many
        bases  should I put in the " Enter custom clipping sequence"
        ? Because in the output files, I end up with more reads when
        putting the whole 3 adapter sequence than putting only first
        8 nt.
        Also, miRNA is about 17-25 nt long, I guess that the rest of
        the reads (51-21=30bp) must contain part or whole 5's
        adapter sequence or the by-product of mRNA/tRNA degradation.
        So I think that I have to trim the 5' adapter as well.
        Any suggestion will be highly appreciated
        Thanh
