RDMbites | Sequencing Data QC: FastQC metrics - TeSS (Training eSupport System)

Content provider

In 2021, ELIXIR-UK was granted a UKRI award for the ELIXIR-UK DaSH Fellowship. The University of Bradford leads the project with a delivery team at Cardiff University, the Earlham Institute, the University of Manchester, and the University of Oxford.

The project aims to embed Research Data Management (RDM) know-how into UK universities and institutes by producing and delivering training in FAIR data stewardship using ELIXIR-UK knowledge and resources, such as the RDMkit and the FAIR Cookbook.

It focuses on building capacity and professionalising data stewardship while leveraging the local expertise within diverse UK institutions – creating a data management culture change from within the institutions.

Resource type: Video

Learning objectives:

In this RDMbite you will learn to interpret each of the quality metric summaries from FastQC and how to assess whether further processing of the data is needed before analysis and interpretation.
This follows on directly from our introductory RDMbite, Sequencing Data QC: causes and consequences. If you need an introduction to QC, check out that video first, and come right back.
