+Sequencing data were analyzed with the [_BAR-Seq2_](https://bitbucket.org/bereste/bar-seq2) pipeline, with the following parameters:
 - `--trim-sequences --trim-opt '-m 50 -q 30'` to trim low-quality bases and keeping sequences having length >50bp;
 - `--edit-distance 2`;
 - `--min-count 2` to keep only barcodes having minimum count equal to 2.
