FastQC aims to provide 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.
The main functions of FastQC are:
*Import of data from BAM, SAM or FastQ files (any variant)
*Providing a quick overview to tell you in which areas there may be problems
*Summary graphs and tables to quickly assess your data
*Export of results to an HTML based permanent report
