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

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.

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
