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. SEE ALSO
