Sequences close to the end of reads were also excluded.
All the polynucleotide sequences show increased frequency towards the end of reads.
There is a noticeable increase of A nucleotides towards the end of reads, whereas the occurrences of Cs decline.
Comparing our results from Figure 4 with Figure 1 shows that there is a dramatic increase of poly-G 6-mers at the end of reads, even though the count of base calls for single G bases remains stable towards the end of reads.
First, sequences were trimmed to the barcode plus 26 nucleotides to avoid higher error rates at the end of reads while containing enough information to map most reads unambiguously to the reference genome.
For instance, base call progressions at the end of reads, such as those in the data sets D1, D4, D5 (D), and D7 (see Table S1), suggest that users should make use of trimming techniques like that presented by Qu et al. [16].
Experiments show that the higher occurrences of poly-A, poly-T, poly-C, or poly-G sequences at the end of reads is not a reflection of the material being sequenced but is due to a systematic introduction of error, turning quasi poly-nucleotide sequences into actual ones by minor changes.
The higher probabilities for errors at the end of reads leads to a higher diversity of the 6-mer distributions and such to the observed graph; note that the distribution of 6-mers in the human genome is biased, so that introducing errors using random substitutions tends to make the distribution become more even towards the end of the reads.

To trim adaptor sequences, the reads were clipped from the 3'-end of reads.
Finally, the reads longer than 50 nt were trimmed from the 3'-end of reads to 50 nt and the reads shorter than 20 nt were removed.
Then, the nucleotides were eliminated from the 3'-end of reads to the nucleotides whose sequencing accuracy was lower than 99%.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
