  ## Get some sequence files
  sq.files = list.files(system.file('extdata', package='qrqc'),
    pattern="test.*fastq", full.names=TRUE)
  names(sq.files) <- gsub("(.*)\\.fastq", "\1", basename(sq.files))
  sq <- lapply(sq.files, readSeqFile)


  ## Take the FASTQSummary objects, extract quality data from each of
  ## the, and combine.
  d <- list2df(sq, getQual)

  ## Look at difference in average quality
  aggregate(d$mean, list(sample=d$sample), mean)

  ## Look at difference in variance - this is where we really see a
  ## change.
  aggregate(d$mean, list(sample=d$sample), var)
