option to remove reads that fail the Casava filter #107
Comments
From marcel.m...@tu-dortmund.de on February 11, 2015 05:17:20 Give me a few days to think about this. Sure, it’s easy to implement, but it does not have to do anything with adapter trimming per se. But then quality trimming, which cutadapt also does, is also not really adapter trimming ... |
From jkgren...@gmail.com on February 11, 2015 06:20:17 Thanks for considering. I like to use cutadapt as a high quality, tunable one-stop-shop for preprocessing, including adaptor trimming, quality trimming, length filtering (post-trim), and (ideally) Casava-filtering. Saves me time not to have to do each step separately, since I/O is the slow part! |
From marcel.m...@tu-dortmund.de on February 11, 2015 06:54:32 I understand because that’s how I like to use cutadapt myself ;-). However, disk I/O shouldn’t be an issue even if you use multiple programs since you can use a pipe to connect them together, similar to this: my-casava-filter-program input.fastq | cutadapt -a ADAPTER - > output.fastq (Assuming here that my-casava-filter-program writes the reads to standard output.) |
From jkgren...@gmail.com on February 11, 2015 07:39:10 True! But there arent any (good) Casava-filtering programs out there (that |

Hi,
I use cutadapt to trim Illumina reads for adaptor sequences and low-quality bases. I would love to also have the option to filter out reads that fail the Casava 1.8 filter ("Y" in sequence id line) since the fastq files I receive contain failed reads.
Thanks for considering this (easy) filter,
Jen
