where **adapter_file.fasta** is fasta input file of the adapter sequences that need to be removed from the 3' end of the sequence data, and **input_reads.fastq** is the input sequencing data in fastq format.
The file **output_reads.fastq** contains the sequencing reads with removed adapters. If the adapter sequences are unknown, Scythe by itself provides two adapter sequences that can be used with the **-a** option: **illumina_adapters.fa** and **truseq_adapters.fasta**.
The file **output_reads.fastq** contains the sequencing reads with removed adapters. If the adapter sequences are unknown, Scythe by itself provides Illumina adapter sequences that can be used with the **-a** option: **illumina_adapters.fa**.

Scythe is single threaded program, and therefore both `#SBATCH --nodes` and `#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node` are set to **1**.
The two adapter sequences provided by Scythe are stored in **$SCYTHE_HOME**. Hence, to access the illumina adapter file use: `$SCYTHE_HOME/illumina_adapters.fa`, and to access the TruSeq file use: `$SCYTHE_HOME/truseq_adapters.fasta`.
The Illumina adapter sequences provided by Scythe are stored in **$SCYTHE_ADAPTERS**. Hence, to access the illumina adapter file use: `$SCYTHE_ADAPTERS/illumina_adapters.fa`.
