  cores = 4,
  execute = TRUE,
  fastqc = NULL,
  version = FALSE
)

Arguments

out.dir	Name of the directory to write the FastQC results, required
threads	Number of threads for FastQC
parallel	Run in parallel, default set to FALSE
cores	Number of cores/threads to use for parallel processing, default set to 4
execute	Whether to execute the commands or not, default set to TRUE
fastqc	Path to the FastQC program, required
version	Returns the version number

Value

# Merge the reads file names
all.reads <- c(mate1,mate2)
