+This tool allows you to trim the ends of reads.
+
+You can specify either absolute or percent-based offsets. Offsets are calculated, starting at 0, from the respective end to be trimmed. When using the percent-based method, offsets are rounded to the nearest integer. 
+
+For example, if you have a read of length 36::
+  
+  @Some FASTQ Sanger Read
+  CAATATGTNCTCACTGATAAGTGGATATNAGCNCCA
+  +
+  =@@.@;B-%?8&gt;CBA@&gt;7@7BBCA4-48%&lt;;;%&lt;B@
+  
+And you set absolute offsets of 2 and 9::
+  
+  @Some FASTQ Sanger Read
+  ATATGTNCTCACTGATAAGTGGATA
+  +
+  @.@;B-%?8&gt;CBA@&gt;7@7BBCA4-4
+  
+Or you set percent offsets of 6% and 20% (corresponds to absolute offsets of 2,7 for a read length of 36)::
+  
+  @Some FASTQ Sanger Read
+  ATATGTNCTCACTGATAAGTGGATATN
+  +
+  @.@;B-%?8&gt;CBA@&gt;7@7BBCA4-48%

+
+Trimming a color space read will cause any adapter base to be lost.
