cutadapt

Adapter, primer, and poly-A/T trimming for high-throughput sequencing reads (FASTQ/FASTA). Use for ATAC-seq (Nextera adapter removal), ChIP-seq/CUT&RUN, small RNA-seq (preserving reads as short as ~18 nt), and amplicon/primer trimming where exact or linked adapter sequences matter more than fastp's heuristic auto-detection. Covers 3'/5'/linked adapters, IUP…
