fastqc

We have hosted the application fastqc in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about fastqc:

FastQC is a quality control analysis tool designed to spot potential problems in high throughput sequencing datasets. Its goal is to provide a simple way by which to check the quality of raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines. It does this by running a modular set of analyses on one or more raw sequence files in fastq or bam format. It then produces a report summarizing the results, and highlighting any areas where the library may appear unusual. This should then direct you to where your data may have problems and allow you to take necessary steps to correct it before doing any further analysis.

FastQC is not tied to any specific type of sequencing technique, so it can be used to look at libraries of various experiment types (Genomic Sequencing, ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, BS-Seq etc etc).

Features:

• Imports data from BAM, SAM or FastQ files
• Offers a quick overview that highlights potential problem areas
• Summary graphs and tables for quick assessment of data
• Export results to HTML
• Can be used offline

Programming Language: Java.
