Filter reads for length

Description

Filters reads based on length.

Details

This tool utilizes the PRINSEQ package. The filtering is calculated with PRINSEQ options -max_len and -min_len.
You should define the acceptable length range with parameters Maximum length and Minimum length.

Output

The reads that pass the length filtering condition are saved to file called accepted.fastq or accepted.fasta. You can also choose to store the reads that are filtered out to a separate file (rejected.fastq or rejected.fasta). You can also print out a log file that contains information about the filtering task and statistics about how many reads were accepted and rejected.
