cutadapt removes adapter sequences from high-throughput sequencing data. This is usually necessary when the read length of the sequencing machine is longer than the molecule that is sequenced, for example when sequencing microRNAs. Template:App Location

Available versions

  • 1.0

Note: cutadapt is installed into the python 2.6.5 and so the cutadapt module loads python/2.6.5

Running the application using modules

To use cutadapt with the environment modules system at HPC the following commands are available:

Get module information for cutadapt:

$module spider cutadapt

Load the default application module:

$module load cutadapt

The modulefile for this software adds the directory with executable files to the shell execution PATH and sets the following environment variables:
