Hi
I have some RNA samples(paired-end reads) . The cDNA synthesised by TruSeq RNA sample preparation kit and sequenced by illumina Hiseq 2000 platform .
I would like to use trimmomatic to trim the reads. Can anyone let me know how I can find the adaptor sequence?
Thank you

- You will get this information from the sequencing facility from where the data is generated.
- Run FASTQC and look at the over represented sequences, which may give the name of the adapter sequence. It looks for different adapters which are listed here.
- Use universal adapter sequences of TruSeq kit:
AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT
Personally I would use /Path-To-Trimmomatic-0.33/adapters/TruSeq3-PE-2.fa
It was included in the binary of Trimmomatic.
Illumina documents adaptor sequences in its "Customer Sequence Letter".
http://supportres.illumina.com/documents/documentation/chemistry_documentation/experiment-design/illumina-customer-sequence-letter.pdf probably has the answer you are looking for.
Sorry, Charles Plessy already give the file I mentioned above, forget about it.
