FASTQ and FASTQC

<p>FASTQ format is a text-based format for storing both a biological sequence (usually nucleotide sequence) and its corresponding quality scores. Both the sequence letter and quality score are each encoded with a single ASCII character for brevity.</p>

<p>

FastQC aims to provide a QC report which can spot problems which originate either in the sequencer or in the starting library material.</p>
