**What it does**

This tool trims (cut nucleotides from) sequences in a FASTA/Q file.
  
--------

**Example**

Input Fasta file (with 36 bases in each sequences)::

    >1-1
    TATGGTCAGAAACCATATGCAGAGCCTGTAGGCACC
    >2-1
    CAGCGAGGCTTTAATGCCATTTGGCTGTAGGCACCA
    

Trimming with First=1 and Last=21, we get a FASTA file with 21 bases in each sequences (starting from the first base)::

    >1-1
    TATGGTCAGAAACCATATGCA
    >2-1
    CAGCGAGGCTTTAATGCCATT

Trimming with First=6 and Last=10, will generate a FASTA file with 5 bases (bases 6,7,8,9,10) in each sequences::

    >1-1
    TCAGA
    >2-1
    AGGCT
