I think virtually every man and his dog who has done anything with Illumina

the trimming. Do you want to clip to a specific length, clip on quality 
(absolute or average over a window) and do you have a minimum length 
requirement? 

Do you want to clip 3' and 5' ends or just one?

Michael,

Doesn't Illumina provide tools to do this?  I know with ABI Solid data,
they have a perl script capable of trimming data based on quality scores.
