Ea-utils provides a set of command-line tools for processing biological
 sequencing data, barcode demultiplexing, adapter trimming, etc.
 .
 Primarily written to support an Illumina based pipeline - but should work with
 any FASTQs.
 .
 Main Tools are:
 .
  * fastq-mcf
 Scans a sequence file for adapters, and, based on a log-scaled threshold,
 determines a set of clipping parameters and performs clipping. Also does
 skewing detection and quality filtering.
  * fastq-multx
 Demultiplexes a fastq. Capable of auto-determining barcode id's based on a
 master set fields. Keeps multiple reads in-sync during demultiplexing. Can
 verify that the reads are in-sync as well, and fail if they're not.
  * fastq-join
 Similar to audy's stitch program, but in C, more efficient and supports some
 automatic benchmarking and tuning. It uses the same "squared distance for
 anchored alignment" as other tools.
  * varcall
 Takes a pileup and calculates variants in a more easily parameterized manner
 than some other tools.
