Good morning everybody,
I had RNA-seq data from Illumina (paired-ends), which adapters were removed and quality trimming performed successfully using Trimmomatic. After analysing with FastQC, all seems OK. However, there are one thing that worries me: the kmers. Some pictures:
Why is it? Apparently, there are no overrepresented sequences according to FastQC.

Have you checked FastQC website?. These examples will give you an idea whats wrong with your sequence:
Overrepresented Kmers: http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/Help/3%20Analysis%20Modules/11%20Overrepresented%20Kmers.html
Sequence Length Distribution: http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/Help/3%20Analysis%20Modules/8%20Sequence%20Length%20Distribution.html
That site tells you what is happening and how, but doesn't tell you why or potential scenarios.

Just to note, the images aren't showing up for me in either Chrome of Firefox
