Thanks for sharing the example, will come in handy for sure!

Visit me at poster 253 and 254 any during the lunch breaks day!

I asked the Twitters this as well, but Bioinformatics Mastodon, what is your worst (best) sequencing quality control story? Looking for examples where something like FastQC has picked up an issue that changed the interpretation of results or saved a lot of spurious analysis. Want to include a real world example in a tutorial, so publicly accessible data preferred.
