Sync paired-end FASTQ files. Some QC tools are not aware of paired-end sequencing. These tools often delete one read of the read pair, while leaving the other. This will lead to the FASTQ files for the reads being out of sync.

FastqSync will check back with the original FASTQ files (before QC) and make sure that when a read is removed from one pair, the other read from the pair is also removed.

FastqSync is part of BIOPET tool suite that is developed at LUMC by the SASC team. Each tool in the BIOPET tool suite is meant to offer a standalone function that can be used to perform a dedicate data analysis task or added as part of a pipeline, for example the SASC team's biowdl pipelines.

All tools in the BIOPET tool suite are Free/Libre and Open Source Software.
