Filter R1 and its matching R2 based on kmer sequence

Hello!

I am working with RNA-seq data, from paired end sequencing (10x precisely, and sequenced on a NextSeq platform).

Basically I have a list of sequences (15 bp long) which are present in only a subset of my R1 reads. What I would like to do is to filter the R2 reads which match this criteria. Do you know how I could achieve this?

Many thanks for your help.

rna-seq next-gen sequencing

Please give a representative example of input and expected output. R1 in 10X are barcodes and UMIs which are not present in R2. It is not clear what you aim to do.

You should be able to use bbduk.sh from BBMap suite in filter mode. There is a guide available here.
