Dear Brian , Hi

When using "--trimmomatic" in the standard Trinity paired end assembly script, what default parameters of this program will run? as it seems that Trimommatic is flexible in the field of Phred score and Adapter removing.
Thanks

It's shown under Trinity --show_full_usage_info

#### Quality Trimming Options ####

Dear Brian, Hi
It seems that there is no phred quality score trimming or "N" nucleotide trimming in this default , am I right ?

it’s SLIDINGWINDOW:4:5 LEADING:5 TRAILING:5

Trimming PHRED < 5 from both ends and sliding window.

Dear Matthew, Hi and thank you,

I usually have heard about PHRED quality score = 20 and = 30 , whould you please tell me what this <5 score mean ?

By <5 I mean that you will only trim bases where the quality is less than Phred5. Trimming at a Phred score as high as 20 or 30 is likely limiting the quality of your assembly. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24567737

I always forget about that trimming paper. It is awesome!
