--Hi,
i have a big difference between results using bbduk.sh and trimmomatic trimming single-end reads, i have used the commands below, trimmomatic kept 99.78% survival reads whereas bbduk 91.76%. I don't know which to consider good or not.
Which parameters do you use to use to trim in a good way single-reads ?
thank you --
