Dear Biostars;

To start, I love your FastQC wrapper. In fact, I found performance differences between your version (v0.5.2) and the modern (v0.11.2) versions, where Galaxy's performs better. Specifically, I wonder why the Galaxy version picks up over-represented sequences that the current version does not. I have included two fastQC report outputs, run on the same dataset (one locally with v0.11.2 and one online with Galaxy). For space, I removed possible source column (all are Illumina seq primers).

v0.11.2 (modern): Overrepresented sequences

No overrepresented sequences

v0.52 (galaxy): Overrepresented sequences

To clarify, I do not want to know why/how to deal with sequence contaminations. I simply want to get my local (v0.11.2) to perform as well as Galaxy's. Thank you for your time!

Not sure this helps but the Galaxy Tool version v0.52 depends on version 0.10.1 of FastQC. So I guess newer versions of FastQC are "different"? Have you checked that both command line are identical?

Thank you for the reply Bjoern. I will look further into the differences in v0.10.1, unfortunately I cannot answer your question as I do not run Galaxy locally.

Bjoern is correct, the wrappers were based on different versions of FastQC. Reporting versions - both the wrapper and any underlying program - for all tools in the Galaxy user interface is a current priority for our team and development community.

Apologies for the confusion this caused, Jen, Galaxy team
