FastqArazketa, a fq quality control and filter tool

Software and source code of FastqArazketa. Creates quality reports of fastq files and filters them removing low quality reads, reads containing too many N's or contamination reads (unwanted rRNA reads, impurities coming from another organism, ...).

Installation

Clone the repository, or download the source. Make sure that your system supplies the following dependencies for FastqArazketa.

• cmake (at least version 2.8),
• a C compiler supporting the c11 standard (change the compiler flags otherwise),
• pandoc (optional, see documentation in PANDOC.md),

  • rmarkdown

NOTE: FastqArazketa will work without the optional dependencies but will skip creating html reports if they are not available.

$ cmake -H. -Bbuild/ [-DRSCRIPT=myRscriptexec ... ]
$ cd build 
$ make 

When running cmake, there are some variables you can set using the option -D followed by the variable name. This variables are,

• CMAKE_C_FLAGS: compiler flags (default -Wall -O3 -march=native -std=c11).
• PANDOC: pandoc executable (default pandoc),
• RSCRIPT: Rscript executable (default Rscript),
• READ_MAXLEN: Maximum Illumina read length (default 400),
• RMD_QUALITY_REPORT: path to quality_report.Rmd,
• RMD_SUMMARY_REPORT: path to summary_report.Rmd,

The executables will be created in the folder bin.

Executables

• Qreport: creates a quality report in html format (see README_Qreport.md),
• Sreport: creates a summary report in html format on a set of samples, regarding either the original files or the filtering process (see README_Sreport.md),
• makeBloom: creates a bloom filter from a fata file of a certain size, and stores it in a file (see README_makeBloom.md)
• makeTree: creates a tree of a certain depth from a fasta file and stores it in a file (see README_makeTree.md),
• trimFilter: performs the filtering process for single end data (see README_trimFilter.md).
• trimFilter: performs the filtering process for double stranded data (see README_trimFilterDS.md).
