What does FastQC do in an RNA seq pipeline?

FastQC provides a simple way to do some quality control checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines. It provides a modular set of analyses which you can use to give a quick impression of whether your data has any problems of which you should be aware before doing any further analysis.

How do you do FastQC?

Actually installing FastQC is as simple as unzipping the zip file it comes in into a suitable location. That’s it. Once unzipped it’s ready to go. You can run FastQC in one of two modes, either as an interactive graphical application in which you can dynamically load FastQ files and view their results.

When should I run FastQC?

Question: When should the FastQC software be used to QC 10x data? Answer: You may wish to run FastQC if you suspect poor sequencing quality or have some ‘N’s in the barcodes. Low valid barcodes also result in a certain loss of reads, thus a low median gene count per cell.

What does FastQC aim do?

FastQC aims to provide a simple way to do some quality control checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines.

What is FastQC used for?

FastQC, written by Simon Andrews of Babraham Bioinformatics, is a very popular tool used to provide an overview of basic quality control metrics for raw next generation sequencing data. There are a number different analyses (called modules) that may be performed on a sequence data set.

How do I use FastQC in terminal?

Open a terminal (“Ctrl+Alt+t”) and go to the FastQC folder. You will see that your fastqc folder has been added to the default search PATH that Linux is using to find commands/applications/software. The word “rudy” in the above command needs to be replaced with your personal username.
