Description
Bolger, Lohse, and Usadel introduced Trimmomatic in 2014, a tool that cleans raw sequencing reads. Before analysis, reads from Illumina machines often need trimming to remove adapter pieces and low-quality ends. Many tools existed, but the authors found none that met all their needs at once.
Trimmomatic was built to be flexible, fast, and correct with paired-end data, where two reads come from the same DNA piece. It chains trimming steps in the order the user chooses. Clean input reads improve every later step, from genome assembly to variant calling. The tool became a standard first pass in sequencing pipelines worldwide.
