ITSxpress: Software to rapidly trim internal transcribed spacer sequences with quality scores for amplicon sequencing
<p dir="ltr">The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions are commonly used to identify fungi and other eukaryotic taxa in amplicon sequencing. The highly conserved rRNA regions flanking the ITS need to be trimmed before being used for taxonomic assignment. The Python software package ITSxpress …
