FastQC, FASTX toolkit and cutadapt do not execute the algorithm developed taking into consideration biological implications, but are simple tools that evaluate or edit reads from NGS.
I suggest the best way to know how to use is to see manuals of the tools.

Instead, if you want to cite the tools for a paper, please see below.
