Description

Yuxin Chen and colleagues introduced SOAPnuke, software for cleaning high-throughput sequencing data, in 2017. Raw reads from sequencers contain adapters and low-quality bases that must be removed first. Older tools often lacked key functions or ran too slowly on huge files.

SOAPnuke combines quality checks and filtering in one program and speeds the work with a map-reduce design. It can spread a job across machines when files get very large. Clean input data protect every later step from garbage results. Labs that sequence at scale use tools like this as their first gate.
