quality trimmomatic fastqc fastqc

Hello, I have attached the photo you see above. I have a problem with Per sequence GC content, Overrepresented sequences, etc.. . Although I use the trimmomatic tool, I couldn't solve some of the problems here. What would you recommend to solve this problem?

Do the sequencing again.

You need to add more details. Is this pre or post trimming RNA-seq, genomic etc, and what is your goal ? It might be ok for RNA-seq but doesn't look fantastic quality for eg SNP calling, where higher quality is expected.

This is one of the samples where the whole genome analysis of 32 apricot varieties was made. The picture I added is before the trim. I will add the version after trimming. My goal here is to clean up the raw data and do a whole genome analysis.

How can I fix the other three Per base sequence content, Per sequence GC content, and Sequence Length Distribution shown in the picture?

No, sir They are the same sample. the last picture is after the trimming.

Thank you for replying. I added the picture after the trimming.

You don't need to "fix" them, it's just a warning. Your trimmed data don't look perfect, but are pretty good ( the blue line is the median quality as far as I remember). You can proceed with this.

I used to work in a core unit and most datasets did not fulfill all quality criteria (green tick) depending on dataset (eg miRNA or amplicons had lots of sequence duplication), even though base quality was generally quite a bit better.

Do some alignments, call some SNPs against the reference genome and check the data in a genome browser. Likely the quality of your ref genome will have a much bigger impact on final results than these slightly lower data will.

Thank you very much for all your answers. I'm new to whole genome analysis, is there a video or book to teach this analysis step by step?
