Trim reads

Description

Given a FASTQ file, this tool trims reads as specified by the user.

Parameters

Details

You can use this tool for trimming reads to a given length, and you can give as many FASTQ files at the same time as you like. If quality control tools have indicated that only some reads have low quality ends, you might prefer to use other tools like Trimmomatic which take the base quality values into account.

Output

A FASTQ file containing the trimmed reads.

Reference

This tool is based on the FASTA/Q Trimmer tool of the FASTX package.
