       fastx_clipper - FASTA/Q Clipper

DESCRIPTION

       usage:  fastx_clipper  [-h]  [-a  ADAPTER]  [-D] [-l N] [-n] [-d N] [-c] [-C] [-o] [-v] [-z] [-i INFILE] [-o OUTFILE] Part of FASTX Toolkit
       0.0.13.2 by A. Gordon (gordon@cshl.edu)

       [-h]   = This helpful help screen.

	      [-a ADAPTER] = ADAPTER string. default is CCTTAAGG (dummy adapter).  [-l N]	= discard sequences shorter  than  N  nucleotides.
	      default is 5.  [-d N]	  = Keep the adapter and N bases after it.

	      (using '-d 0' is the same as not using '-d' at all. which is the default).

       [-c]   = Discard non-clipped sequences (i.e. - keep only sequences which contained the adapter).

       [-C]   = Discard clipped sequences (i.e. - keep only sequences which did not contained the adapter).

       [-k]   = Report Adapter-Only sequences.

       [-n]   = keep sequences with unknown (N) nucleotides. default is to discard such sequences.

       [-v]   = Verbose - report number of sequences.

       If [-o] is specified,
	      report will be printed to STDOUT.

	      If [-o] is not specified (and output goes to STDOUT), report will be printed to STDERR.

       [-z]   = Compress output with GZIP.

       [-D]   = DEBUG output.

       [-M N] = require minimum adapter alignment length of N.

       If less than N nucleotides aligned with the adapter - don't clip it.
	      [-i INFILE]  = FASTA/Q input file. default is STDIN.

	      [-o OUTFILE] = FASTA/Q output file. default is STDOUT.
