Amplicon reads start with +a primer sequence. Poly-A tails are useful for pulling out RNA from +your sample, but often you don’t want them to be in your reads. + +Cutadapt helps with these trimming tasks by finding the adapter or +primer sequences in an error-tolerant way. It can also modify and +filter reads in various ways. Adapter sequences can contain IUPAC +wildcard characters. Also, paired-end reads and even colorspace data +is supported. If you want, you can also just demultiplex your input +data, without removing adapter sequences at all. + +Cutadapt comes with an extensive suite of automated tests and is +available under the terms of the MIT license. + +If you use cutadapt, please cite: +Marcel Martin.
