MultiQC is a reporting tool that aggregates results from multiple bioinformatics analyses and samples into a single report. It scans directories for recognised log files, extracts their statistics and presents the results using interactive plots.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Combines results from many bioinformatics tools and samples.
- Automatically scans directories for recognised log files.
- Generates a single HTML report with interactive plots.
- Summarises multiple stages of an analysis within one report.
- Supports a large collection of bioinformatics tools.
- Accepts appropriately formatted results from custom scripts.
- Exports underlying data in tab-delimited, YAML or JSON format.
- Offers extensive report customisation through YAML configuration.
- Supports custom modules, plugins and report templates.
- Available through PyPI, Bioconda, containers and Galaxy wrappers.
