bookChallenge: Analyze Read Quality

Task

Swipe to start coding

Write a Python function that processes sequencing read data in FASTQ format to assess read quality. The function should take a list of FASTQ lines and a quality threshold, and return the count of reads with an average quality score above the threshold.

  • Calculate the average quality score for each read using the quality string (fourth line of each FASTQ record).
  • Convert ASCII characters in the quality string to Phred scores using Sanger encoding (ord(char) - 33).
  • Count how many reads have an average quality score greater than the provided threshold.
  • Return the count of such reads.
