Dear Noa, I also feel the same. So I think it would be better to use these three steps
remove sequencing artifacts then trim the sequences by from the 5' end or if needed from the 3'end also (2-5 bases, depending on your sequence quality) finally filter the sequences by quality (I used the default parameters). Although it removed 15% of the sequences but I feel confident with the high quality data. Any better suggestion will be appreciated.
