Adapter trimming is enabled by default, but you can disable it by -A or --disable_adapter_trimming. Adapter sequences can be automatically detected for both PE/SE data.
For SE data, the adapters are evaluated by analyzing the tails of first ~1M reads. This evaluation may be inacurrate, and you can specify the adapter sequence by -a or --adapter_sequence option. If adapter sequence is specified, the auto detection for SE data will be disabled.
