Hi all,
I have paired-end fastq files from a single-cell RNA seq experiment. The forward files consist of barcode reads (no usable sequence information) while the reverse reads contain transcript sequences. I'm looking for an efficient way to filter out rRNA reads, but it's a little tricky considering I can't align the forward reads. Is there an efficient way of doing this either within an aligner or with a quick downstream script that will result in rRNA-filtered and orphanless paired end (non-interleaved) fastq files?
Thanks.
