## Filter reads for length

### Description

Filters reads based on length.

### Details

This tool utilizes the PRINSEQ package. The filtering is calculated with PRINSEQ options -max_len and -min_len.
You should define the acceptable length range with parameters Maximum length and Minimum length.

### Output

The reads that pass the length filtering condition are saved to file called accepted.fastq or accepted.fasta. You can also choose to store the reads that are filtered out to a separate file (rejected.fastq or rejected.fasta). You can also print out a log file that contains information about the filtering task and statistics about how many reads were accepted and rejected.

### Reference

This tool is based on the PRINSEQ package.
