Prepare raw data
The first thing to do after data import is to check the quality of the sequencing reads and perform the necessary trimming. Note that the workbench is able to trim automatically read-through adapters, but if you are not sure you have read-through reads, you will need to provide a Trim Adapter List. To learn how to create an adapter trim list, see http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=Trim_adapter_list.html.
A workflow is available for preparing the raw reads in the QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench, see http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manualindex.php?manual=Prepare_Raw_Data.htmll.
