08-Apul-sRNAseq-trimming

FastQC/MultiQC assessment of raw and flexbar-trimmed sequences of E5 A.pulchra sRNAseq data from 20230515.

Inputs:

• sRNAseq gzipped FastQs (e.g. *.fastq.gz)

Outputs:

• FastQC HTML reports for raw and trimmed reads.

• MultiQC HTML summaries of FastQC for raw and trimmed reads.

• Trimmed reads with final length of 25bp: *flexbar_trim.25bp.fastq.gz

Libraries were prepared and sequenced by Azenta:

• Library prep: NEB nebnext-small-rna-library-prep-set-for-illumina kit (PDF)

• Sequencing: Illumina HiSeq 4000, 150bp PE

2 Download raw sRNAseq reads

Reads are downloaded from https://owl.fish.washington.edu/nightingales/A_pulchra/30-852430235/

The --cut-dirs 3 command cuts the preceding directory structure (i.e. nightingales/A_pulchra/30-852430235/) so that we just end up with the reads.

# Load bash variables into memory
source .bashvars

--recursive \
--no-check-certificate \
--continue \
--cut-dirs 3 \
--no-host-directories \
