+The program Flexbar preprocesses high-throughput sequencing data
+efficiently. It demultiplexes barcoded runs and removes adapter
+sequences. Moreover, trimming and filtering features are provided.
+Flexbar increases read mapping rates and improves genome as well as
+transcriptome assemblies. It supports next-generation sequencing data
+in fasta and fastq format, e.g. from Roche 454 and the Illumina
+platform.
+
+The script downloads the segan-library needed for compilation.
