Find likely adapter sequences in a set of paired end FASTQs
#!/bin/bash
# Given a directory of fastq files, use bbmerge to find adapters sequences for every sample,
# align and find the consensus.
# Final consensus is in r1_adapter.consensus.fa and r2_adapter.consensus.fa - trim by hand
# if the automatic trimming up the the first 'n' isn't sensible
# Requires: bbmerge.sh (bbmap), muscle, emboss (cons)
# MODIFY to match your R1/R2 suffix ()
