Visualization for RNA transcript quality control and comparison of per base quality score Q. The images are taken before (A) and after (B) quality trimming procedure (removes reads with Q ⤠20) to estimate the effect of trimming. The quality score Q is plotted to the read position by using the FastQC package in Galaxy (http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/). The color indicates the quality of the read: "red" low quality, "orange" median quality, "green" good quality. Red line expresses the mean of the measured values (yellow boxes are inter-quartile range) and the blue line represents the mean quality. (ZIP 81 kb)
