featureCounts

Supported Tool

featureCounts is a highly efficient general-purpose read summarization program that counts mapped reads for genomic features such as genes, exons, promoter, gene bodies, genomic bins and chromosomal locations.

Description

The featureCounts module parses results generated by featureCounts, a highly efficient general-purpose read summarization program that counts mapped reads for genomic features such as genes, exons, promoter, gene bodies, genomic bins and chromosomal locations.

As of MultiQC v1.10, the module should also work with output from Rsubread. Note that your filenames must end in .summary to be discovered. See Module search patterns for how to customise this.

Please note that if files are in “Rsubread mode” then lines will be split by any whitespace, instead of tab characters. As such, filenames with spaces in will cause the parsing to fail.
