FastQC-Rust v1.0.0

Note

Tracking: FastQC v0.12.1

Initial Rust rewrite.

Comparison to upstream

• fastqc_data.txt and summary.txt are byte-identical to FastQC v0.12.1
  • Only known exception: Adapter Content trims trailing empty rows when --min_length is set. Upstream PR: #187.
• PNG charts rendered via resvg + tiny-skia instead of Java2D. Antialiasing differs, producing ~1–2% pixel differences.
• SVG charts use bundled Liberation Sans instead of system Arial, so text positions shift by a few pixels.
• HTML report is identical once embedded chart images are stripped.
• No "interactive mode" (upstream launched an interactive Java GUI if run without any arguments)

See the equivalence test suite for details.

Additional features

• --template modern — alternative HTML report with inline SVG charts, responsive sidebar, CSS-only help accordions, and Material Design status icons. ~13% of the classic template's size when gzipped. Upstream PR: #161.
• Bundled Liberation Sans font — chart rendering has no system font dependency. Upstream PR: #185.
• Static single-file binary — no JVM required. Prebuilt releases for Linux (x86_64/aarch64, musl), macOS (x86_64/arm64), and Windows.
• Published as a Rust crate — fastqc-rust for use in the Rust bioinformatics ecosystem.
