How to remove illumina universal adapter

Hello every one I have paired end illumina reads for chip-seq analysis. Fastqc report adapter content and all so per sequence GC content not passing, I tried trimmomatic but still i am getting same result. can anyone suggest me how can I resolve this problem

command I tried

trimmomatic PE read1.fastq.gz read2.fastq.gz filt_read1.fastq.gz read2.fastq.gz ILLUMINACLIP:TruSeq3-PE.fa:2:30:10 HEADCROP:20

after this still did not pass the adapter content and per sequence GC content

TruSeq3-PE.fa file contains collected from different biostar threads

Thank you

Have you checked that the adapter sequence given by fastqc is the same sequence that is in TruSeq3-PE.fa ?

No I did not check can you suggest me how we can do.

Thank you, but already went through this thread still did'nt get the result

Thank you, i am trying bbduk, Adapter trimming i have done but compare to trimmomatics its removing lot of reads(removing in millions(36149148 to 26801764)) is it not two much of removal

If you have bad data i.e. a lot of primer dimers/short inserts then there is not much you can do. Please post images according to the instructions below by editing your original post.

If you are aligning to a good reference you don't need to strictly remove the adapters. Aligner will soft clip them.

data is from chip-seq i am using bowtie2 aligner(recommended encode ) its a end to end aligner
