A tool to generate MD5 checksum for sequencing data and verify integrity. It can:
- Generate MD5 checksum for input files (any format)
- Count number of sequences in fastq file
- Verify the original checksum, and highlight any mismatch
Requirement: Windows 7/8/10
Download the latest version (FqHashForWin.zip) from the release page to your computer, unzip, and double-click the exe file.
- Add files/folders by one of the ways below:
- Simply drag and drop your files/folders in the window.
- If a folder is chosen, all sequence files inside will be added to the table.
- (Optional) Check "Count Sequences" if needed.
- Click "Run" to start processing.
- If you have the original checksum, enter it in the "Verify Checksum" column to verify.
Note: if Total Seq = -1, that means there is an error processing the sequence file, probably because the file is corrupted for malformatted.
