Figaro is a software tool for identifying and removing the vector from raw DNA sequence data without prior knowledge of the vector sequence. By statistically modeling short oligonucleotide frequencies within a set of reads, Figaro is able to determine which DNA words are most likely associated with vector sequence.

Requirements
Figaro is released as C++ and Perl source code and should work on any Unix system. We strongly encourage users to quality trim their data as well using a program such as Lucy. Lucy can be downloaded here or at ftp://ftp.tigr.org/pub/software/Lucy/.
Documentation and Data
- Figaro User Manual - In depth description of how to run
- Figaro Simulated Data - Simulated data discussed in our paper.
Keywords.
vector trimmer, vector clipping, vector trimming, open source, AMOS.
