FASTQC

Generate fastq qc statistics using fastqc.

Example

This wrapper can be used in the following way:

rule fastqc:
    input:
        "reads/{sample}.fastq"
    output:
        html="qc/fastqc/{sample}.html",
        zip="qc/fastqc/{sample}_fastqc.zip" # the suffix _fastqc.zip is necessary for multiqc to find the file. If not using multiqc, you are free to choose an arbitrary filename
    params: "--quiet"
    log:
        "logs/fastqc/{sample}.log"
    threads: 1
    wrapper:
        "v1.25.0-52-g79342b73/bio/fastqc"

Note that input, output and log file paths can be chosen freely.

When running with

snakemake --use-conda

the software dependencies will be automatically deployed into an isolated environment before execution.

Software dependencies

• fastqc=0.12.1

Input/Output

Input:

• fastq file

Output:

• html file containing statistics
• zip file containing statistics
