Skip FASTQC

From @rosscrowhurst

From Table 1, we can see that fastp is much faster than other tools. The tool with second speed is FASTQC, which takes about 2x the time of fastp. However, FASTQC only performs quality control, while fastp performs quality control (for both pre-filtering data and post-filtering data), data filtering and other operations. The other tools take 3x~5x time of fastp. Since fastp is natively designed for multi-thread processing, it may show even higher performance when executed in real applications in multi-thread mode. Since some tools do not support multi-threading, multi-threading performance comparison is not provided here." (

) so - yes you could skip fastqc by the look

From @charlesdavid

FASTP reports most of the stats that FASTQC reports.
