Report FCID and barcodes from fastq file

Open patidarr opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I think it would be helpful to report Flowcell Id(s) and well as barcodes in the fastqc report, especially helpful data is merged and user forget which fastqs were merged....

The flowcell id (if present) shouldn't be too hard. You'd have to make some kind of assumption that the ID you see in the first entry is valid for the entire file, which might not be true if multiple files have been merged though. I'll take a look

Yes, if fastq is generated without merging, its easier even using zcat|head -1 |cut -f3 -d ":" could do it, but I was thinking as fastqc already go through the whole file it would be easier to get all unique FCID and barcodes using fastqc.
