adapterremoval is:
This program searches for and removes remnant adapter sequences from High-

bases from the 3’ end of reads following adapter removal. AdapterRemoval

merge overlapping paired-ended reads into (longer) consensus sequences.
Additionally, the AdapterRemoval may be used to recover a consensus
adapter sequence for paired-ended data, for which this information is
not available.
