FastQC only QC's data. It does not have any functionality for post-processing data (e.g. trimming). You will want to use a dedicated trimming program for that (examples are BBDuk.sh, trimmomatic, cutadapt, skewer etc).
In general if your libraries are good (i.e. no gross adapter dimer contamination etc) no trimming should be required. Most aligners (STAR should too) will soft clip reads during alignment.
FastQC also generates a zip file that has multiple text files (which are used for generating some of the graphics). Take a look at those for getting at the QC data.

FastQC in a pipeline
Hi,
We are running fastqc with the fq files before alignment with STAR. For now the fastqc output is a html file. I was wondering:
1. Could any of the output from fastqc be used to feed STAR for trimming purpose, pls?
2. How do you process and evaluate PE reads, pls?
3. For now the fastqc output is a html file. If we want to feed STAR with certain fastqc output parameters, is there a way to generate a QC report that we could extract information from for STAR?
Thanks,
Grace

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...-
