Hello,

We have received the results of a library sequencing and we have noticed that the sequence quality drops at the 3' end of one of the pairs: enter image description here enter image description here

Moreover, there seems to be a biased base distribution too:

What could be the case? We still have not performed manual filtering of sequences, but I wanted to know what could be causing this.

Anyways, the sequence quality seems somewhat good.

Best,

But shouldn't quality drop at both 3'ends and not just on the left one?

This may be one of those things that just happens to be a one-time thing with whatever was going on with this run. Was this sample pooled with others you did not prepare/own?
