Alignment Quality Control

关于

Streamlines the preliminary assessment of genomic alignment files by generating comprehensive technical metrics using industry-standard tools like samtools, Picard, and MultiQC. It automates the process of checking read depth, mapping quality, error rates, and insert size distributions while ensuring BAM files are correctly formatted, sorted, and indexed. This skill is essential for bioinformaticians needing to validate data quality and prepare datasets for peak calling or open chromatin analysis without manually orchestrating complex command-line sequences.
