How To Determine If Paired–End Illumina Rnaseq Reads Are Strand–Specific
I've been provided with more than a billion reads of RNAseq data for a poorly annotated nematode species. They appear to be 2x100 paired-end Illumina reads – I currently know frustratingly little about...
View ArticleHow To Convert A Soapsnp Output File To Soap, Sam Or Bam Formats
Hello,I would like to know if there is any tool to convert SOAPsnp to SOAP? Once it is converted to SOAP, I can convert it to SAM using Soap2Sam from reseqtools. Hopefully using reseqtools is not that...
View ArticleDoes Every Read In Paired-End Sam File Have The 0X0001 Flag?
Hello everyone, I have a simple, generic, question about SAM format flags in paired-end Illumina data. Does every read in a SAM file from a paired-end sequencing run automatically have the 0x0001 flag?...

View ArticleTrimming Adapters For Paired-End Sequences
Hi all,I got illumina paired end fastq files. They told me to trim read 2 at the beginning for ~20 to 30 bp due to the WGA adapters. Can we find the adapters by looking in to the quality? Which tool is...
View ArticleIs It Ok To Use One End Of A Set Of Paired-End Reads As A Set Of Single Reads?
Hi,I'm wondering if it's OK to use one end of a set of paired-end reads as a set of single reads?I just want to get a single read data set of a sample, but currently there's only paired-end data...
