Although many next-generation sequencing (NGS) read preprocessing tools already existed, we could not find any tool or combination of tools that met our requirements in terms of flexibility, correct handling of paired-end data and high performance. We have developed Trimmomatic as a more flexible and efficient preprocessing tool, which could correctly handle paired-end data.
The value of NGS read preprocessing is demonstrated for both reference-based and reference-free tasks. Trimmomatic is shown to produce output that is at least competitive with, and in many cases superior to, that produced by other tools, in all scenarios tested.
Trimmomatic is licensed under GPL V3. It is cross-platform (Java 1.5+ required) and available at http://www.usadellab.org/cms/index.php?page=trimmomatic
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
尽管已经存在许多下一代测序(NGS)读预处理工具,但我们无法找到任何在灵活性、正确处理配对末端数据和高性能方面符合我们要求的工具或工具组合。我们开发了 Trimmomatic 作为一种更灵活、更高效的预处理工具,可以正确处理配对末端数据。
基于参考和无参考任务都证明了 NGS 读预处理的价值。在所有测试的场景中,Trimmomatic 产生的输出至少与其他工具相当,在许多情况下甚至优于其他工具。
