Removes linkers from 5' and 3' ends by performing local S/W alignments with
the linker sequences. This is best used when the sequencing is noisy with
a lot of low quality base calls. If there aren't expected to be many
mismatches or sequencing errors, use "fastqutils filter" as it uses a faster
sliding window method.
Usage: fastqutils trim {opts} filename.fastq{.gz}
You must specify at least one of the following:
-5 seq 5' linker sequence to remove
-3 seq 3' linker sequence to remove
Options
-len val Minimum length of a read (discards shorter) [default: 25]
-pct val Required percent identity (0->1.0) [default: 0.8]
-min val Minumum number of bases to trim (or minumum dist. from the
ends) [default: 4]
-failed fname Write failed reads to file
-v Verbose output for each alignment
