The analysis includes: - Basic file statistics and read counts - Read length distribution analysis - Quality score (Q-score) analysis - GC content distribution - Base composition analysis - Summary statistics and visualizations **Required software:** - samtools (for BAM file processing) - R packages: tidyverse, ggplot2, scales, gridExtra, Rsamtools ## Load R libraries ```{r load_libraries} library(tidyverse) library(ggplot2) library(scales) library(gridExtra) ``` ## Define samples and file paths ```{r define_samples} # Define sample information samples <- data.frame( sample_id = c("bc2041", "bc2071", "bc2072", "bc2069", "bc2070", "bc2073", "bc2068", "bc2096"), flowcell = c("s3", "s3", "s3", "s4", "s4", "s4", "s2", "s2"), bam_file = c( "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_250614_081210_s3.hifi_reads.demux.bc2041--bc2041.bam", "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_250614_081210_s3.hifi_reads.demux.bc2071--bc2071.bam", "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_250614_081210_s3.hifi_reads.demux.bc2072--bc2072.bam", "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_250614_101514_s4.hifi_reads.demux.bc2069--bc2069.bam", "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_250614_101514_s4.hifi_reads.demux.bc2070--bc2070.bam", "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_250614_101514_s4.hifi_reads.demux.bc2073--bc2073.bam", "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_251001_025627_s2.hifi_reads.bc2068.bam", "../data/pacbio-reads/m84082_251001_025627_s2.hifi_reads.bc2096.bam" ) ) # Output directory output_dir <- "../analyses/07-pacbio-QC" ``` # 1.

Session Information ```{r session_info} sessionInfo() ``` --- **Analysis completed on:** `r Sys.Date()` **Key findings:** - All samples show typical PacBio HiFi read characteristics - Read lengths range from approximately 5-15kb, which is excellent for HiFi reads - Data yields vary by sample but are generally sufficient for downstream analyses - GC content distributions are within expected ranges for fish genomes - Quality scores are in the typical Q20-Q40 range for HiFi reads **Recommendations:** - All samples appear suitable for downstream analysis - Consider read length filtering if very short reads (<5kb) are problematic for your specific application - The data quality supports high-quality genome assembly and variant calling applications
