What are the adapters in illumina platinium genomes?

Hello All,

I want to know the adapters (if present) in the illumina platinium genomes. The website (https://www.illumina.com/platinumgenomes.html) and the paper (http://genome.cshlp.org/content/27/1/157) doesn't talk about it.

Also, is there any specific Cutadapt command, we need to pass to get the correct file for assembly?

assembly sequencing adapters

You can find all common Illumina adapter sequences in the adapters.fa file included in BBMap suite (look in resources directory). While there I encourage you to look at bbduk.sh from BBMap as an alternative for cutadapt that is easy to use/fast.

Additionally, for paired-end sequences, you can do this:

bbmerge.sh in1=read1.fq in2=read2.fq outa=adapters.fa

As long as the library has a single pair of adapter sequences (i.e., as long as this is not a mix of multiple libraries with different adapters) this command will give you the consensus adapter sequences for read 1 and read 2 of that library.
