Decipher 3' 10X paired-end reads

How to read barcode and umi in 3'v.3.1 10X read1, when GTGGATCAAA+CAGGGTTGGC is same in read 1 and read 2 both? Thanks

umi barcode

Can you elaborate what the problem is? R1 contains UMI+CB and R2 contains the cDNA. Specialized software such as CellRanger, STARsolo, kallisto-bustools or alevin will deal with that.

Yes sure! These above are 3' v3.1 10X (Paired-end150bp per sample) R1 and R2 reads.

  • I want to know how to recognize barcode and umi in read 1 i.e. R1 by looking into it?
  • Do these reads have total 300bp. i.e. 2 X150?
  • I do not see any option for mapping 3' 10X Paired-end mapping on starsolo, only 3' 10X mapping instead. How to do starsolo mapping for 3' Paired-end 10X reads? I am still referring starsolo github page. Thanks

I want to know how to recognize barcode and umi in read 1 i.e. R1 by looking into it?

Check with the 10x documentation. R1 has the CB at 1-16 and UMI at 17-28. That is always the same for v3.

Do these reads have total 300bp. i.e. 2 X150?

I do not understand. It is paired-end sequencing, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the principle. It is two independent reads but actually for R1 you only need the first 28bp, the rest is meaningless / rubbish.

I do not see any option for mapping 3' 10X Paired-end mapping on STARsolo (...)

It's the same. 10x is always paired-end. Read the manual, it will instruct how to read in R1 and R2 with STARsolo.
