Next-generation sequencing (NGS) data frequently suffer from poor-quality cycles and adapter contaminations therefore need to be preprocessed before downstream analyses. With the ever-growing throughput and read length of modern sequencers, the preprocessing step turns to be a bottleneck in data analysis due to unmet performance of current tools. Extra-fast and accurate adapter- and quality-trimming tools for sequencing data preprocessing are therefore still of urgent demand.

Ktrim：超快速，准确的适配器和质量微调器，用于对数据进行排序。

下一代测序（NGS）数据经常遭受质量较差的循环困扰，因此需要在下游分析之前对适配器污染进行预处理。随着现代定序器吞吐量和读取长度的不断增长，由于当前工具的性能无法满足需求，因此预处理步骤已成为数据分析的瓶颈。因此，仍然迫切需要用于序列数据预处理的超快速，准确的适配器和质量修整工具。
