bookChallenge: Visualize Read Quality

Task

Swipe to start coding

Write a Python script that reads quality scores from a FASTQ file and generates a histogram of average read quality using matplotlib.

  • Implement the average_read_quality function to calculate the mean Phred quality score for a given quality string.
  • The function should convert each character in the quality string to its corresponding Phred score using the provided phred33_to_q function.
  • Return the average as a float. If the quality string is empty, return 0.
