Hello I am working on single cell in my data fastqc showing overdispersed read as below I have to remove this sequences or not can anyone suggest me

if yes how can I remove please mention tools related

alignment rna-seq next-gen sequence

What platform is this single cell sequencing data from? Generally if this is 10x then it cellranger software will take care of eliminating/soft-clipping the data during alignment.

Thanks for your reply, Illumina HiSeq 2500 squencer

genomax was asking about the type of library (e.g. 10x, Smart-Seq, InDrop, MARS...), not the sequencer. Anyway, the percentages of these overrepresented sequences are tiny. I would ignore it and proceed with analysis.
