Hello Soetkin,

The FASTX-toolkit added into Galaxy has a tool for this. Look under "NGS: QC and manipulation -> FASTX-Toolkit for FASTQ data -> Clip adapter sequences".

If this tool does not do exactly what you want, use the "Options -> Tool search" (top of left tool panel) and enter "trim" to see the alternatives.

Hopefully one of these options will work out for you,

Best,

Jen Galaxy team

Hi!

Does anyone know if it is possible to trim sequencing adaptor sequences away in Galaxy?

Thanks!
