Community rating: ?????
cutadapt removes adapter sequences from high-throughput sequencing data. This is usually necessary when the read length of the sequencing machine is longer than the molecule that is sequenced, for example when sequencing microRNAs.
Quick Start
- To use cutadapt, import your data in FASTQ or fastq.gz format.
- Resources: http://code.google.com/p/cutadapt/
