  Description     : PReprocessing and INformation of SEQuence data (lite version)

 PRINSEQ will help you to preprocess your genomic or metagenomic sequence data
 in FASTA or FASTQ format.  It is a tool that generates summary statistics of
 sequence and quality data and that is used to filter, reformat and trim
 next-generation sequence data. It is particular designed for 454/Roche data,
 but can also be used for other types of sequence data.  The standalone version
 is primarily designed for data preprocessing and does not generate summary
 statistics in graphical form.

Greetings,

I intend to give a hand to the Debian Med Team to package
prinseq-lite, which in turn would be a dependency of another
package (or set of packages, yet to ITP) related to the software
suite VirusSeeker:

    https://wupathlabs.wustl.edu/virusseeker/

In the prerequisite software, the availability of the
prinseq-lite.pl command is part of the requirements:

Thank you,
Kind Regards,
