<p>I recently started doing the analysis on nanopore sequencing data.

<p>As I was trying to follow the instruction, I ran into a question on part where it uses lastal to divide the input file as strand specific output.</p>

<p>Part that uses the following script below:</p>

<pre><code>lastal -P 10 ONT_barcodes_adapters.fa &lt;(zcat 4T1_BC06.correctedReads.uniqueOnly.fasta.gz) | \  ~/scripts/maf_bcsplit.pl | grep -e 'ONT_SSP,+' -e 'ONT_VNP,-' | \   awk -F',' '{print <span class="math-container">$1}' | sort | uniq &gt; fwdQry_seqs_BC06.txt lastal -P 10 barcodes_primerSeqs.fa &lt;(zcat 4T1_BC06.correctedReads.uniqueOnly.fasta.gz) | \   ~/scripts/maf_bcsplit.pl | grep -e 'ONT_SSP,-' -e 'ONT_VNP,+' | \   awk -F',' '{print $</span>1}' | sort | uniq &gt; revQry_seqs_BC06.txt 
</code></pre>

<p>In here, I was wondering what the ONT_barcodes_adapters.fa file actually looks like. I wanted to find the information in other places and could not find it elsewhere.</p>

I recommend that you look at the most recent version of the protocol, which includes example adapter and barcode files:
https://www.protocols.io/view/stranded-mapping-from-long-reads-syheft6?step=2
[check in the protocol to see if there's a more recent version]
These files contains the public sequences that ONT have released for their sequencing kits (as briefly mentioned in the "Before Starting" section of the protocol). The sequences are available on the ONT community, but I have converted them into FASTA files for use in my protocol.
The adapter and barcode files were combined into a single FASTA file in the previous version of my protocol. For the PCR cDNA barcoding, it looked something like this:
>ONT_VNP
ACTTGCCTGTCGCTCTATCTTCTTTTT
>ONT_SSP
TTTCTGTTGGTGCTGATATTGCTGCCATTACGGCCGGG
>BC01
AAGAAAGTTGTCGGTGTCTTTGTG

I separate out adapters and barcodes in the newer versions of the protocol because I was getting too many incorrect hits.
