NextGen FastQ/SFF Workbench
A graphic FastQ/SFF viewer & editor
Performance
The program loads a 0.5GB file in under 11sec. This includes also the time for determining the file encoding (Solexa, Illumina, Sanger). The memory footprint never exceeds 15-20MB.
| This program | FastQC | |
| File | Sanger, 555 MB, 3.35 mil reads | |
| Required RAM | 19 MB | 150 MB |
| Time | 11 seconds | 45 seconds |
(Note: It is important to remember that FastQC does more processing then we do.
On the other hand this program is still under constructions and no speed optimizations have been applied yet)
