RNA-SeQC is a java program which computes a series of quality control metrics for RNA-seq data. The input can be one or more BAM files. The output consists of HTML reports and tab delimited files of metrics data. This program can be valuable for comparing sequencing quality across different samples or experiments to evaluate different experimental parameters. It can also be run on individual samples as a means of quality control before continuing with downstream analysis.

Usage
Usage on Owens
Set-up
module load rna-seqc. The default version will be loaded. To select a particular RNA-SeQC version, use module load rna-seqc/version. For example, use module load rna-seqc/1.1.8 to load RNA-SeQC 1.1.8.Usage
This software is a Java executable .jar file; thus, it is not possible to add to the PATH environment variable.
From module load rna-seqc, a new environment variable, RNA_SEQC, will be set. Thus, users can use the software by running the following command: java -jar $RNA_SEQC {other options}.
