Another quality of life improvement is that we now have a #JSONschema via @pydantic for #MultiQC configuration files ๐ŸŽ‰

This has been added to schemastore.org so that config files in #VSCode & other IDEs automatically get integrated error checking as you type, see https://docs.seqera.io/multiqc/getting_started/config#json-schema-validation

Settings to tweak how MultiQC works

Did you see, #MultiQC v1.28 went out a few days ago!

There are a handful of release highlights for this version, but perhaps the most exciting is that .gif, .webp and .tiff files are now supported for #CustomContent - you can finally put your favourite gifs into reports! Just name them *_mqc.gif

MultiQC v1.27 was released yesterday. It includes one major new feature:

=== โœจ AI summaries โœจ ===

LLMs are a natural next step for helping scientists understand large datasets. @multiqc now has built-in integration with #Seqera AI as well as #OpenAI and #AnthropicAI ๐Ÿค–

The premise is fairly simple:
#MultiQC builds prompts with sample data and sends these to LLMs to get summaries.

This can be done at report-generation time and also *interactively* on-demand when reading the report.

Sneaking a little holiday gift in at the last moment: @multiqc v1.26 just released!

- ๐Ÿ†• 10 new tools supported
- ๐Ÿ’ซ 12 modules updated
- ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Bug fixes, improvements and refactoring!

If you're quick, you might see a little christmassy easter egg!

https://github.com/MultiQC/MultiQC/releases/tag/v1.26

New in this release: report toolbox settings (highlights, renaming, hiding samples) are automatically saved to the browser's local storage. So next time you open the same report they'll show up again! โœจ๐Ÿ’พ

Release v1.26 ยท MultiQC/MultiQC

MultiQC v1.26 - 2024-12-17 Christmas release! 10 new modules, 11 improved modules, and a few core improvements. Highlights Custom content: allow quoting strings in CSV to prevent interpreting them...

Next up - Box plots were added as a new plot type back in v1.21, but only for folks writing MultiQC modules.

Now with v1.25 you can also use box plots with Custom Content!

MultiQC v1.25 is released! ๐Ÿš€

Did you ever get annoyed by having lots of empty space in General Statistics because of FastQC _1 and _2 samples?

Good news - MultiQC can now group samples! Try it out by setting `table_sample_merge`: https://multiqc.info/docs/reports/customisation/#sample-grouping

For the most part, we've not changed how report plots look or feel. One notable exception is the beeswarm plot ๐Ÿ which we've replaced with a violin plot ๐ŸŽป

This does a much better job of showing sample distributions, and works well with hundreds of thousands of samples..
