@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!!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...-

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...-
