Read quality assessment software tools | High-throughput sequencing data analysis

Assists in automating quality, adapter trimming and quality control (QC). Trim Galore! is a wrapper script that provides functionalities to remove biased methylation positions for reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) sequence files (for directional, non-directional (or paired-end) sequencing). It can remove sequences if they become too short during the trimming process.

Enables users to work with high-throughput sequencing data. HTSeq is a program that simplifies development of scripts for processing and analyzing high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data. It contains parsers for common file formats for a variety of types of input data and is suitable as a general platform for a diverse range of tasks.

Integrates workflow technology and in-built access to bioinformatics resources including remote data warehouses and tools. Galaxy permits users without programming skills to conduct computational analysis through the Web. It builds a succession of tools to perform multistep studies and is able to conserve the complete provenance of each analysis step. This platform offers drag and drop functionalities to ease the construction of workflows.

Furnishes functions to control quality for high throughput sequence data. FastQC aims to provide a simple manner to do some quality control checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines. It provides a modular set of analyses which users can employ to obtain a quick impression of whether data has any problems of which users should be aware before doing any further analysis.

Assists users with DNA sequence analysis. Sequencher is a graphical application that integrates the Cufflinks suite for in-depth transcript analysis and differential gene expression of RNA-Seq data. It can generate unique data visualizations using customized plots and graphs that produces ready-to-print graphs. This model also includes an extensive Sanger analysis features.

A system to provide a flexible and usable Web environment for defining and running bioinformatics analyses. It embeds simple yet powerful data management features that allow the user to reproduce analyses and to combine tools using a hierarchical typing system. Mobyle offers invocation of services distributed over remote Mobyle servers, thus enabling a federated network of curated bioinformatics portals without the user having to learn complex concepts or to install sophisticated software.

A toolkit for the quality control (QC) of next generation sequencing (NGS) data. The toolkit comprises of user-friendly standalone tools for quality control of the sequence data generated using Illumina and Roche 454 platforms with detailed results in the form of tables and graphs, and filtering of high-quality sequence data. It also includes few other tools, which are helpful in NGS data quality control and analysis.
