This site has been replaced by the new QIIME 2 “amplicon distribution” documentation, as of the 2025.4 release of QIIME 2. You can still access the content from the “old docs” here for the QIIME 2 2024.10 and earlier releases, but we recommend that you transition to the new documentation at https://amplicon-docs.qiime2.org. Content on this site is no longer updated and may be out of date.
Are you looking for:

learning resources for microbiome metagenome analysis? See the MOSHPIT documentation.

fastq-stats: Fastq stats with vsearch.¶
Docstring:
Usage: qiime vsearch fastq-stats [OPTIONS]
A fastq overview via vsearch's fastq_stats, fastq_eestats and fastq_eestats2
utilities. Please see https://github.com/torognes/vsearch for detailed
documentation of these tools.
Inputs:
--i-sequences ARTIFACT SampleData[SequencesWithQuality |
PairedEndSequencesWithQuality]
Fastq sequences [required]
Parameters:
--p-threads NTHREADS The number of threads used for computation.
[default: 1]
Outputs:
--o-visualization VISUALIZATION
[required]
Miscellaneous:
--output-dir PATH Output unspecified results to a directory
--verbose / --quiet Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr
during execution of this action. Or silence output
if execution is successful (silence is golden).
--example-data PATH Write example data and exit.
