@Phil: Is a better fix coming along for this? That kind of seems like a hacky solution.

Hi @fnn4,
Do you mean a single mean quality score for the entire FastQ file? The Per Sequence Quality Scores plot shows the distribution of average Q scores across all reads in the file. I don't think that FastQC reports an average for the entire file, but it should be simple enough to do using the raw data reported in fastqc_data.txt - just sum the (Q score * read count) from the per-sequence section and divide by the sum of the read count.
What's your reason for wanting this statistic, out of interest?

Hi Phil,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, that is what I was asking for. When we submit samples, we have to pass a certain threshold for average Q score.

FastQC weird Kmer count in GBS data
Hi @simonandrews and everybody elese, I'm using FastQC to check the quality of my GBS reads, focusing in th R1 sequences, and I'm getting weird results in the Kmer content. After trimming and removing adapters and barcodes, I got a first Kmer profile showing a higher than expected count for several 6-mers, like this:
I thought it may be the adapters of the other side of the read for the sequencing of the R2, so I trimmed all the reads longer than 130 pb to 130 pb. And strangely, I got new Kmer peaks, not shown before:
Does anybody know why and what are these new peaks, or what it's the origin of them? May be related with FastQC algorithms? Somebody found similar problems? Thanks a lot guys!!

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...-

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
