=head1 NAME

C<calc_fastq-stats.pl> - basic statistics for bases and reads in a FASTQ file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

C<perl calc_fastq-stats.pl -i reads.fastq>

B<or>

C<gzip -dc reads.fastq.gz | perl calc_fastq-stats.pl -i ->

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Calculates some simple statistics, like individual and total base
counts, GC content, and basic stats for the read lengths, and
read/base qualities in a FASTQ file. The GC content calculation does
not include 'N's. Stats are printed to C<STDOUT> and optionally to an
output file.

Because the quality of a read degrades over its length with all NGS
machines, it is advisable to also plot the quality for each cycle as
implemented in tools like
L<FastQC|http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/>
or the L<fastx-toolkit|http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/>.

If the sequence and the quality values are interrupted by line
breaks (i.e. a read is B<not> represented by four lines), please fix
with Heng Li's L<seqtk|https://github.com/lh3/seqtk>:

C<seqtk seq -l 0 infile.fastq E<gt> outfile.fastq>

An alternative tool, which is a lot faster, is B<fastq-stats> from
L<ea-utils|https://code.google.com/p/ea-utils/>.
