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
