_AlienTrimmer_ v2.0 (and higher) implements the same alien _k_-mer search algorithm as the initial release (see S1.2 [here](https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0888754313001481-mmc1.pdf)), but use slightly different trimming criteria (see below). Of note, _AlienTrimmer_ v2.0 has simplified options, runs quite faster (especially when compiled with [GraalVM](https://www.graalvm.org/)), and is able to read gzipped FASTQ files.
Note that alien oligo-nucleotide sequence(s) can be easily inferred without any prior knowledge using [AlienDiscover](https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/GIPhy/AlienDiscover).
