Description

far website  

FAR is a software that removes adapter sequences from your sequencing reads by overlap alignment using the Needleman Wunsch algorithm (default) or a quality-based variant of the Needleman Wunsch algorithm. The Needleman Wunsch algorithm is a global exact string-matching algorithm, which offers maximal sensitivity and outperforms heuristic algorithm such as BLAST. Therefore the alignment of an adapter sequence to a read is very accurate.

Available versions

  • 2.15

Execution Environment and Modules

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

Get module information for far:

$module spider far

Load the default application module:

$module load far

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

  • HPC_FAR_DIR - directory where far is located.
  • LD_LIBRARY_PATH - run time library path
