## sc_trim_barcode

### Description

Reformat fastq files so barcode and UMI sequences are moved from the sequence into the read name.

### Usage

    sc_trim_barcode(outfq, r1, r2 = NULL, read_structure = list(bs1 = -1, bl1 =
      0, bs2 = 6, bl2 = 8, us = 0, ul = 6), filter_settings = list(rmlow = TRUE,
      rmN = TRUE, minq = 20, numbq = 2))

### Arguments

`outfq` | the output fastq file, which reformat the barcode and UMI into the read name. Files ending in `.gz` will be automatically compressed.
`r1` | read one for pair-end reads. This read should contain the transcript.
`r2` | read two for pair-end reads, NULL if single read. (default: NULL)
`read_structure` | a list containing the read structure configuration: bs1: starting position of barcode in read one. -1 if no barcode in read one. bl1: length of barcode in read one, if there is no barcode in read one this number is used for trimming beginning of read one. bs2: starting position of barcode in read two bl2: length of barcode in read two us: starting position of UMI ul: length of UMI
`filter_settings` | A list contains read filter settings: rmlow whether to remove the low quality reads. rmN whether to remove reads that contains N in UMI or cell barcode. minq the minimum base pair quality that we allowed numbq the maximum number of base pair that have quality below `numbq`

### Details

Positions used in this function are 0-indexed, so they start from 0 rather than 1. The default read structure in this function represents CEL-seq paired-ended reads. This contains a transcript in the first read, a UMI in the first 6bp of the second read followed by a 8bp barcode. So the read structure will be : `list(bs1=-1, bl1=0, bs2=6, bl2=8, us=0, ul=6)`. `bs1=-1, bl1=0` indicates negative start position and zero length for the barcode on read one, this is used to denote "no barcode" on read one. `bs2=6, bl2=8` indicates there is a barcode in read two that starts at the 7th base with length 8bp. `us=0, ul=6` indicates a UMI from first base of read two and the length in 6bp.

For a typical Drop-seq experiment the read structure will be `list(bs1=-1, bl1=0, bs2=0, bl2=12, us=12, ul=8)`, which means the read one only contains transcript, the first 12bp in read two are cell barcode, followed by a 8bp UMI.

### Value

generates a trimmed fastq file named `outfq`
