fu-primers
A program to remove primers from the raw output (FASTQ) of amplicons, allowing IUPAC degenerate bases and checking for multiple occurrences (dimers/concatamers).
Usage: fu-primers [options] -1 <FOR> [-2 <REV>]
This program currently only supports paired-end Illumina reads.
Options:
-1 --first-pair <FOR> First sequence in pair
-2 --second-pair <REV> Second sequence in pair (can be guessed)
-f --primer-for FOR Sequence of the forward primer [default: CCTACGGGNGGCWGCAG]
-r --primer-rev REV Sequence of the reverse primer [default: GGACTACHVGGGTATCTAATCC]
-m --min-len INT Minimum sequence length after trimming [default: 50]
--primer-thrs FLOAT Minimum amount of matches over total length [default: 0.8]
--primer-mismatches INT Maximum number of missmatches allowed [default: 2]
--primer-min-matches INT Minimum numer of matches required [default: 8]
--primer-pos-margin INT Number of bases from the extremity of the sequence allowed [default: 2]
--pattern-R1 <tag-1> Tag in first pairs filenames [default: auto]
--pattern-R2 <tag-2> Tag in second pairs filenames [default: auto]
-v --verbose Verbose output
