[edit] Introduction
fastq-mcf attempts to:
- Detect & remove sequencing adapters and primers
- Detect limited skewing at the ends of reads and clip
- Detect poor quality at the ends of reads and clip
- Detect Ns, and remove from ends
- Remove reads with CASAVA 'Y' flag (purity filtering)
- Discard sequences that are too short after all of the above
- Keep multiple mate-reads in sync while doing all of the above
[edit] Usage
Usage: fastq-mcf [options] <adapters.fa> <reads.fq> [mates1.fq ...]
Detects levels of adapter presence, computes likelihoods and
locations (start, end) of the adapters. Removes the adapter
sequences from the fastq file(s).
Stats go to stderr, unless -o
is specified.
Specify -0
to turn off all default settings
If you specify multiple 'paired-end' inputs, then a -o option is required for each. IE: -o read1.clip.q -o read2.clip.fq
[edit] Options

[edit] Quality adjustment options
--cycle-adjust CYC,AMT Adjust cycle CYC (negative = offset from end) by amount AMT --phred-adjust SCORE,AMT Adjust score SCORE by amount AMT
[edit] Filtering options
--[mate-]qual-mean NUM Minimum mean quality score --[mate-]qual-gt NUM,THR At least NUM quals > THR --[mate-]max-ns NUM Maxmium N-calls in a read (can be a %) --[mate-]min-len NUM Minimum remaining length (same as -l) --hompolymer-pct PCT Homopolymer filter percent (95)
If mate- prefix is used, then applies to second non-barcode read only
Adapter files are 'fasta' formatted:
Specify n/a to turn off adapter clipping, and just use filters
Increasing the scale makes recognition-lengths longer, a scale of 100 will force full-length recognition of adapters.
Adapter sequences with _5p in their label will match 'end's, and sequences with _3p in their label will match 'start's, otherwise the 'end' is auto-determined.
Skew is when one cycle is poor, 'skewed' toward a particular base. If any nucleotide is less than the skew percentage, then the whole cycle is removed. Disable for methyl-seq, etc.
Set the skew (-k) or N-pct (-x) to 0 to turn it off (should be done for miRNA, amplicon and other low-complexity situations!)
Duplicate read filtering is appropriate for assembly tasks, and never when read length < expected coverage. -D 50 will use 4.5GB RAM on 100m DNA reads - be careful. Great for RNA assembly.
Quality filters are evaluated after clipping/trimming
