# art\_profiler\_illumina(1)

program for generating empirical 454 read profiles

## 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
