FastQC is a Quality Control Analysis Tool Specifically Designed for High Throughput Sequencing Data
Table of Content
FastQC is a quality control analysis tool for high throughput sequencing datasets. It checks the quality of raw sequence data, runs analyses on sequence files, and produces a report highlighting any unusual areas. It can be used for various types of sequencing techniques.
FastQC will highlight any areas where this library looks unusual and where you should take a closer look.
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).
FastQC is written in Java, making it a cross-platform application that can run on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Unix systems.
