Hi Kevin, Thanks for the link - I think I skimmed over all the source code (its in Python + C which is nice from my personal perspective), and I'm pretty sure it does NOT handle ambiguous IUPAC codes (either in the adapter/barcode/primer or the read sequences). For the particular task I'm working on I do have degenerate PCR primers, i.e. they have N's in them representing the fact it is a pool of primers covering A, C, G and T at that point. This would be pretty strange for an adapter or barcode!
