So far, read trimming (TRIM) has been performed with fastp. However, fastp was designed for short reads, and there are now several tools specifically designed to perform this task on long reads.

We have now added the latest version of fastplong to docker/Dockerfile_denovo_assembly-tools and updated the workflow so that if the sequencing technology is ONT or PacBio, read trimming is performed with fastplong; otherwise, it defaults to fastp.
