Does Minknow in nanopore sequencing trim low qscore bases?

Question

[grkorompis]

Does Minknow in nanopore sequencing trim low q-score bases while running the sequencing when the q-score threshold is set? Because if that's the case, I was thinking that it would split the read as well, if for some reason the low quality base is found in the middle of the reads.

Alternatively, I assumed that instead of trimming low quality bases, it would instead average q sqore per read, and for any of those read who has low average q score than the threshold set in the minknow, then those reads would be fitered out.

Thank you.
