Hey guys,

I would like to detect adapters (in short and long reads) and have discovered in the paper of Kraken the component minion (under "2.3. Minion – inferring adapter sequences from raw sequencing data"). I also found the minion documentation. minion search-adapter -i data.fq.gz is what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I was not able to find/install it.

When I install Kraken through Anaconda, there is no minion module and I cannot find something about adapter detection in the Kraken doc. Is this function still available? Is there an easy way to install minion other than from the binaries?

Or is there a similar tool? fastp was not able to find nanopore adapters and porechop depends on known adapters.

Thanks for your help!
