SeqStat is a package that contains tools to generate stats from a FastQ file, merge those stats for multiple samples, and validate the generated stats files.

Mode - Generate

Generate outputs several stats on a FASTQ file.

Outputted stats:

• Bases
  • Total number
  • Base qualities, with the number of bases having that quality
  • Number of each nucleotide
• Reads
  • Total number
  • minimum length
  • maximum length
  • A histogram of the average base qualities
  • The quality encoding (Sanger, solexa etc.)
  • A histogram of the read lengths.

Mode - Merge

This module will merge seqstat files together and keep the sample/library/readgroup structure. If required it's also possible to collapse this, the output file then des not have any sample/library/readgroup structure.

aggregation values can not be regenerated the file is considered corrupt. This should only happen when the user will edit the seqstat file manually.
