Version 0.7 of MultiQC!

This is quite a big release: 141 commits since v0.6, with 4,587 new lines of code and 2,116 lines deleted (or updated), affecting 75 files. Many thanks to everyone for your patience.

MultiQC is published!

If you didn't hear about it - the reason that I wanted to keep the main release stable was because the MultiQC paper was under review. It went well, and MultiQC is now published! You can see it here:

MultiQC: Summarize analysis results for multiple tools and samples in a single report

Bioinformatics (2016)
doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btw354
PMID: 27312411

Many thanks to everyone involved.

Module updates:

Not a huge number of new modules this time, but lots of fixed bugs and quite a few big extensions / refactoring of big modules.

  • Kallisto - new module!
  • Picard
    • Code refactored to make maintenance and additions easier.
    • Big update to HsMetrics parsing - more results shown in report, new plots (by @lpantano)
    • Updated InsertSizeMetrics to understand logs generated by CollectMultipleMetrics (#215)
    • Newlines in picard output. Fixed by @dakl
  • Samtools
    • Code refactored
    • Rewrote the samtools stats code to display more stats in report with a beeswarm plot.
  • Qualimap
    • Rewritten to use latest methods and fix bugs.
    • Added Percentage Aligned column to general stats for BamQC module.
    • Extra table thresholds added by @avilella (hidden by default)
  • General Statistics
    • Some tweaks to the display defaults (FastQC, Bismark, Qualimap, SnpEff)
    • Now possible to skip the General Statistics section of the report with --exclude general_stats
  • Cutadapt module updated to recognise logs from old versions of cutadapt (<= v1.6)
  • Trimmomatic
    • Now handles , decimal places in percentage values.
    • Can cope with line breaks in log files (see issue #212)
  • FastQC refactored
    • Now skips zip files if the sample name has already been found. Speeds up MultiQC execution.
    • Code cleaned up. Parsing and data-structures standardised.
    • New popovers on Pass / Warn / Fail status bars showing sample names. Fast highlighting and hiding.
    • New column in General Stats (hidden by default) showing percentage of FastQC modules that failed.
  • SnpEff
    • Search pattern now more generic, should match reports from others.
    • Counts by Effect plot removed (had hundreds of categories, was fairly unusable).
    • KeyError bug fixed.
  • Samblaster now gets sample name from ID instead of SM (@dakl)
  • Bowtie 2
    • Now parses overall alignment rate as intended.
    • Now depends on even less log contents to work with more inputs.
  • MethylQA now handles variable spacing in logs
  • featureCounts now splits columns on tabs instead of whitespace, can handle filenames with spaces

  • New Clear button in toolbox to bulk remove highlighting / renaming / hiding filters.
  • Improved documentation about behaviour for large sample numbers.
  • Handle YAML parsing errors for the config file more gracefully
