##RDP's Sequence Filtering pipeline and Sequence Initial Processor

Intro

RDP Pipeline Initial processing steps include matching the raw reads to experimental samples, trimming off the tag and primer portions, and removing sequences of low quality. If the gene chosen is 16S RNA, the orientation of sequences will be checked and reverse complemented if needed. Initial processing requires a sequence file and at least one forward primer. The required sequence file, obtained from the pyrosequencing center, and can be in FASTA format or SFF Format (which contains both the sequence and quality information).

The sample input and output files can be downloaded from RDP tutorial http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/tutorials/init_process/RDPtutorial_INITIAL-PROCESS.html.

Setup

This project depends on ReadSeq, AlignmentTools, and ProbeMatch. See RDPTools (https://github.com/rdpstaff/RDPTools) to install.
