NAME

       art_profiler_illumina - program for generating empirical 454 read profiles

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is to create an illumina read quality profile from multiple fastq or gzipped fastq files

USAGE

       art_profiler_illumina out_profile_name input_fastq_dir [fastq_filename_extension (default: fq)]

OPTIONS

       out_profile_name:
              the name of read quality profile

       input_fastq_dir:
              the directory of input fastq or zipped fastq files

              fastq_filename_extension: fastq or gzipped fastq filename extension (default: fq)

EXAMPLES

       1) create hiseq2k profiles from all *.fq.gz in the directory fastq_dat_dir

              art_profiler_illumina hiseq2k fastq_dat_dir fq.gz

       2) create miseq2500 profiles from all *.fq in the directory fastq_dat_dir

              art_profiler_illumina miseq250 fastq_dat_dir fq

       3) create hiseq1k profiles from all *.fq in the directory fastq_dat_dir

              art_profiler_illumina hiseq1k fastq_dat_dir

       NOTES:  For  paired-end  fastq  files,  e.g.,  *.fq  or  *.fq.gz,  the filenames of the 1st reads must be
       *_1.fq/*_1.fq.gz, or *.1.fq/*.1.fq.gz and those of the 2nd reads must be *_2.fq./*_2.fq.gz, or *.2.fq  or
       *.2.fq.gz
