The FQC dashboard. (A) Tab navigation with the metric name displayed on the tab and status of the metric as determined by FastQC. (B) Dropdown menus of the groups (in this example, a group represents a flow cell) and biological samples within a group available for viewing. (C) Plot tabs enable switching between multiple plots (R1 and R2 reads in this example) within a given quality metric. (D) 96-well reagent plate heatmap with positive controls encircled in red; this example shows positive control sample bleed-over into neighboring plate wells. (E) Read abundance values across a reagent plate showing potential dispensing robot failure after column 8. (F) A Lorenz curve showing the distribution of on-target reads across sequence barcodes.
