DIANA-mAP preprocessing workflow. It is composed of three individual steps: In the Data Acquisition step, the user can download publicly available datasets from online repositories by providing their accession numbers. The Adapter Detection step either uses a provided adapter sequence or scans the dataset in order to infer the adapter sequence and identify it. The Quality Trimming/Adapter Removal step removes from the dataset low-quality sections and full or partial adapter sequences in order to cleanse the dataset for further analysis.
