3' ends that have a bad quality can be removed with the -q option, but that does not remove a fixed number of bases (see the --help) and also does not work for 5' ends. In any case, cutadapt always converts csfasta/qual files to FASTQ format.

Hi Marcel,
First of all I meant to say thanks very much for Cutadapt, it is such a neat and useful tool! I was just trying to trim a FastQ file for which lines 1 and 3 do not have the same description:
Code:@1_X:42118728-42118811_R1 ATTTTGAAATTATATATTTATTAAATAATAAAAATAAATTGAGAAGGTTATTTATGTATAGATAATGTATAGATATAAATATAGATCTAGATATTTTTAG +1_R1 HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGFFFFFFFEEEEEDDDDCCCBBBAAA@@@??>>==<<;;::99877655432210/..-,+*)(
Error: At line 3: Two sequence descriptions are given in the FASTQ file, but they don't match ('1_X:42118728-42118811_R1' != '1_R1') perhaps you should try the 'sra-fastq' format?
Is there a reason that lines 1 and 3 have to be identical? Isn't line 3 often just a '+' in order to save space? (btw 'sra-fastq' won't work in this case, either).
Thanks,
Felix

Hello Felix,
Originally posted by fkrueger View PostIs there a reason that lines 1 and 3 have to be identical? Isn't line 3 often just a '+' in order to save space?
In both http://dx.doi.org/10.1093.nar.gkp1137 and http://maq.sourceforge.net/fastq.shtml , which are the closest thing to a FASTQ format specification, it is stated that the second description must be the same as the first or be omitted. In short, cutadapt is correct in telling you that the file is broken. There is no option in cutadapt, yet, to ignore this error, but you can simply remove the check from the source code. In cutadapt/seqio.py, search for these lines (should be around line 318):
Code:self.twoheaders = True if not line[1:] == name:
Code:self.twoheaders = False if False:
btw 'sra-fastq' won't work in this case, either

Dear mmartin,
I am dealing with paired-end Illumina data and I want to cut primers from both sides. When I use the command to cut both at the same time, cutadapt will just do it for one side. I tried several option, but not succesful yet. If I apply the commands seperately for the adapters, then it cuts perfect. What am I doing wrong and how can I manage to do both steps at once? Thanks a lot!

Trimming two adapters simultaneously can be achieved by using the --times 2 option. This is not 100% the same as specifying an "adapter pair", which is not implemented, yet, see http://code.google.com/p/cutadapt/issues/detail?id=34 . In practice, using --times 2 should give very similar results.

Hi, mmartin,
I am trying to use cutadapt to remove adapters. It is some annoying that it always threw me errors when I tried to install cutadapt.
The problem seems related to C compiler. So, I removed the old ones and reinstalled windows SDKs, the version I have now is Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
The computer is configured with windows 7, python 2.7.
However, it still threw errors after I typed 'python setup.py build' in SDK shell as showed in the end of this post. Could you give me some hints ?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/, or even cygwin.
You'll be lucky if you compile it with TDM-GCC Compiler
It can be really pain in the, hmmm, head so I guess that it would be much simpler if you'll install Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64bit. I've finished with this result (dualboot system, Ubuntu for all bioinformatics needs).Last edited by lokapal; 09-22-2013, 06:33 AM.

Trimming Multiple Adapter Sequences
Hello. Thank you in advance.
I am in need to trim 3' end sequences off Read1 and all the sequence that follows the 3' end of read 1.
So looking at cutadapt --help the -a option seems the right fit.
From the illumina website, for RNA seq there is a list of roughly 27 indexed adapter sequences.
Is it true that I need to specify all the adapters in the command line for cutadapt to trim them all?
I just would like some guidance with how to trim the CHIP Seq RNA seq adapter sequences given below:
OR
do I just use the universal adapter as the input for cutadapt???
