Hi,
My name is Shruti. I have been contributing to Debian Med by writing autopkgtests for which I will be applying through GSoC this year.
However, I came across this project which really interests me. I was initially planning on applying for this through Outreachy but unfortunately my application was not approved.
I have a background in wet lab and I have worked extensively with RNA-Seq and microarray workflows for analysis of clinical data (particularly lymphoma). Last summer I worked on harmonising cell line datasets (RNA-Seq and microarray) to identify biomarkers and molecular signatures driving immune resistance for chemotherapy in DLBCL patients. I would be happy to learn other workflows such as microbiomes, CHiP-Seq etc if needed.
I would love to be able to work on this project since it aligns with my skills sets, however I noticed that this project is not available through GSoC. Would it be possible to offer this project through GSoC as well so that I can submit a proposal for this?
Thanking you,
Regards

Hi, Tassia.
I recommend using "flexbar", which I use, instead of "Trimmomatic":

Also, depending on the sequencing technology used, consider assembling
short-paired-end reads with e.g. Pear:
