A pipelined quality control script that utilises the UC Davis Bioinformatics Core's sickle, scythe and seqqs.
Knives takes paired input FASTQ files, and outputs paired good quality reads, and single reads whose pairs failed quality control. It also takes a range of mandatory and optional parameters. Run
$ knives
to see a full range of parameters. A detailed user manual is on it's way, but as this tool is simply a wrapper around sickle, scythe and seqqs, one can for the time being consult their excellent user guides, available from each tool's GitHub page.
