👑 subcommands:

the subcommands are the main event, bestie. this is the "Filtering operation" section ✨

• quality — filters reads by quality score 💜
• maskqual — masks low quality positions 🫥
• trimqual — trims sequences by quality score decay ✂️

🦋 output files:

this part is so important, you need to know the two files you get back 😭

• <command>-pass — reads that pass the filtering operation and get modified accordingly, where <command> is the name of the filtering operation that was run 🌈
