Description
An important step in the next generation sequencing analysis pipeline is to determine the quality of FASTQ sequences.
Sequencing artifacts such (like adapter reading, not-so-random priming, barcoded sequences, and PCR biases) can affect one's ability to discern the true nature of the data.
Pre-alignment steps such as trimming may need to be done to improve the sensitivity of alignment.
SeqDiverse is a free and open-source application that can display diversity measures for sequencing data that can help identify these artifacts.
Detailed instructions on how to install and use the SeqDiverse utility on your Mac are available HERE.
SeqDiverse is a cross-platform utility capable of running on any operating system that comes with Java support (e.g. Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
