       Trimming procedures are an important part of the sequence
       analysis pipeline in an EST Sequencing Project. In general,
       trimming is done in several phases, each one detecting and
       removing some kind of undesirable artifact, such as low quality
       sequence, vectors or adapters sequence, and
       contamination. However, this strategy often results in a phase
       being unable to recognize its target because part of it was
       removed during a previous phase. To remedy this drawback, we
       propose a new strategy, where each phase detects but does not
       remove its target, leaving this decision to a post processing
       step occurring after all phases. Our tests show that this
       strategy can significantly improve the detection of artifacts.
