Trim, merge, and filter reads
...
Using the current steps in Bioinformatics v3.0, we trimmed primers from reads with cutadapt, and merged and filtered them with vsearch. Output is in /project/microbiome/data/seq/gtl_tests/iSeq100Pilot1_brew_30nov20/tfmergedreads, which is further broken by 16S and ITS, and project name.
Within each of these directories are files for the trimmed, merged, and filtered reads. In each of these directories, there are subfolders trimmed/, joined/, and unmerged/ (the last one is used as a working directory, should be empty; unmerged reads are filtered and joined and put in joined/ if they can be joined; this directory can be empty, if all unmerged reads were coligos for example). For example, see contents of /project/microbiome/data/seq/gtl_tests/iSeq100Pilot1_brew_30nov20/tfmergedreads/16S/brew_20/
