  <help>
This tool allows you to trim the ends of reads.

You can specify either absolute or percent-based offsets. Offsets are calculated, starting at 0, from the respective end to be trimmed. When using the percent-based method, offsets are rounded to the nearest integer. 

For example, if you have a read of length 36::
  
  @Some FASTQ Sanger Read
  CAATATGTNCTCACTGATAAGTGGATATNAGCNCCA
  +
  =@@.@;B-%?8&gt;CBA@&gt;7@7BBCA4-48%&lt;;;%&lt;B@
  
And you set absolute offsets of 2 and 9::
  
  @Some FASTQ Sanger Read
  ATATGTNCTCACTGATAAGTGGATA
  +
  @.@;B-%?8&gt;CBA@&gt;7@7BBCA4-4
  
Or you set percent offsets of 6% and 20% (corresponds to absolute offsets of 2,7 for a read length of 36)::
  
  @Some FASTQ Sanger Read
  ATATGTNCTCACTGATAAGTGGATATN
  +
  @.@;B-%?8&gt;CBA@&gt;7@7BBCA4-48%

Trimming a color space read will cause any adapter base to be lost.
