QCPipeline is a tool for quality control. The workflow is as follows:

1
Quality control with FastQC
2
Trim Reads with Trimmomatic
3
Quality control of trimmed reads with FastQC
4
Map reads against reference using bowtie2
5
Classify reads with Kraken

-adapter {TruSeq2-PE,TruSeq2-SE,TruSeq3-PE,TruSeq3-SE,TruSeq3-PE-2,NexteraPE-PE}

Map reads against reference
Bowtie2 index if available.
Illumina folder for SAV. Requires RunInfo.xml, RunParamter.xml and Interop folder.

-save_mapping

Kraken database
Use palindrome parameter 30 or 1000 for further analysis. Default:30
Minlen parameter for Trimmomatic. Default:50
Use maxinfo or slidinginfo for Trimmomatic.MAXINFO:<target length>:<strictness> | SLIDINGWINDOW:<window size>:<required quality>. default: SLIDINGWINDOW:4:15

-nokraken

-nomapping

Optimize trimming parameter using 'Per sequence base content' from fastqc. Not recommended for amplicons.
Set -trimBetter to use this option.Default setting for Illumina: 0.15 and for IonTorrent: 0.25.
Set -trimBetter to use this option.Trim parameter are optimized for assemblies (trim more aggressive).
Set -trimBetter to use this option.Trim parameter are optimized for mapping (allow more errors).

This manpage was written by Andreas Tille for the Debian distribution and can be used for any other usage of the program.
