Re: [galaxy-user] Quality report
Please be more specific about which quality of what gets reported. Why do you think its important to reduce the difference between mean and median? best, ido On Nov 6, 2013, at 4:50 PM, Benjamin Osei-agyeman benjy_o...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi, After obtaining a quality report in galaxy I found out that there is a difference between the mean and median at each cycle.

Re: [galaxy-user] Quality report
Hi, The report was obtained after running fastqc on my data. However after looking at the report statistics, the Quality is not good in the Per Base Sequence Quality and there is a difference between the mean and median at each cycle. How can the quality be improved? And why is there a difference between the mean and median in the fastqc report at each cycle?

How can the quality be improved? Is the quality poor across the entire read, or just at one end? You can improve overall quality in two ways. By filtering out lower quality reads (the Filter by Quality tool or Filter FASTQ tool) or by trimming a portion of the reads (the FASTQ trimmer tool). It is important to understand that these tools work by throwing away data, you can't improve the overall quality of reads you already have. The FASTQC tool is telling you about the quality of your sequencing experiment. The only way to improve the overall quality is to do the experiment again. And why is there a difference between the mean and median in the fastqc report at each cycle? It means your quality score distribution is skewed. This is not necessarily a concern. -- James Taylor, Associate Professor, Biology/CS, Emory University ___ The Galaxy User list should be used for the discussion of Galaxy analysis and other features on the public server at usegalaxy.org.
