A wrapper of the function dada2::filterAndTrim() to use in targets pipeline

Description

This function filter and trim (with parameters passed on to dada2::filterAndTrim() function) forward sequences or paired end sequence if 'rev' parameter is set. It return the list of files to subsequent analysis in a targets pipeline.

Usage

filter_trim(
  fw = NULL,
  rev = NULL,
  output_fw = file.path(paste(getwd(), "/output/filterAndTrim_fwd", sep = "")),
  output_rev = file.path(paste(getwd(), "/output/filterAndTrim_rev", sep = "")),
  return_a_vector = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

fw	(required) a list of forward fastq files
rev	a list of reverse fastq files for paired end trimming
output_fw	Path to output folder for forward files. By default, this function will create a folder "output/filterAndTrim_fwd" in the current working directory.
output_rev	Path to output folder for reverse files. By default, this function will create a folder "output/filterAndTrim_fwd" in the current working directory.
return_a_vector	(logical, default FALSE) If true, the return is a vector of path (usefull when used with targets::tar_targets(..., format="file"))
...	Other parameters passed on to dada2::filterAndTrim() function.

Value

A list of files. If rev is set, will return a list of two lists. The first list is a list of forward files, and the second one is a list of reverse files.
