NAME

guess_ill_instrument - try to determine Illumina instrument from FASTQ headers

SYNOPSIS

guess_ill_instrument FASTQ_filename

DESCRIPTION

This utility reads in a FASTQ file, either from STDIN or from the first argument on the command line, and tries to match the header fields for the first sequence to known patterns for specific instruments. It prints to STDOUT a single, tab-delimited line listing the detected platform (blank if not determined) and the source of detection -- either 'no_match', 'flowcell' if guessed from flowcell ID, 'instrument' if guessed from instrument ID, 'both' if guessed from both, or 'mismatch' if guessed from both but the guesses do not match.

OPTIONS
