PRINSEQ

PRINSEQ is a tool for quality control of metagenomic sequence data. The PRINSEQ includes functions for summary statistics, such as read length, GC content, sequence complexity, quality score distributions, count of duplicate reads, Ns, and poly-A tails, assembly quality measures, and tag sequences. The package also contains functions for trimming, filtering, and data reformatting.
