+FastQC: A quality control tool for high throughput sequence data
+
+FastQC aims to provide a simple way to do some quality control checks
+on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines.
+It provides a modular set of analyses which you can use to give a
+quick impression of whether your data has any problems of which you
+should be aware before doing any further analysis.
+
+The main functions of FastQC are
+
+- Import of data from BAM, SAM or FastQ files (any variant)
+- Providing a quick overview to tell you in which areas there may be
+ problems
+- Summary graphs and tables to quickly assess your data
+- Export of results to an HTML based permanent report
+- Offline operation to allow automated generation of reports without
+ running the interactive application
