Hello,

Based on FastQC result, I have two overrepresented sequence. One is my TruSeq Adapter sequence and another seems like a contaminated sequence (below) AAGCAGTGGTATCAACGCAGAGTACTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I would like to remove/trim this contaminated sequence from my fastq file before mapping, but I don't know how to do it. I heard that this can be done with fastq-grep but not sure how to use grep tool to remove the contaminated sequence.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hello,

If most of the sequence is contaminate, then it will fall out during mapping and trimming/filtering is not really needed as a precursor step. But if you still want to, see the trimming tools in the group NGS: QC and manipulation. Try Trim Galore! or Trimmomatic. Documentation is on each tool's form.

Thanks, Jen, Galaxy team
