All-in-one FASTQ QC and adapter trimming. Auto-detects Illumina adapters, filters low-quality reads, corrects paired-end overlaps, emits HTML+JSON QC in one pass. 3-10x faster than Trim Galore/Trimmomatic. First step before STAR, BWA-MEM2, or Salmon.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# fastp — Fast FASTQ Quality Control and Adapter Trimming ## Overview fastp performs adapter trimming, quality filtering, and QC reporting for Illumina FASTQ files in a single multi-threaded pass. It automatically detects adapter sequences from paired-end read overlaps — eliminating the need to specify adapters manually. fastp corrects mismatches in paired-end overlap regions, filters reads by quality score and length, removes polyX tails (polyA for RNA-seq), and generates interactive HTML and machine-readable JSON QC reports. Being 3–10× faster than Trim Galore and Trimmomatic while providing comparable or better results, fastp has become the standard preprocessing step before alignment in WGS, RNA-seq, and ChIP-seq pipelines. ## When to Use - Trimming Illumina adapters and low-quality bases before alignment in any NGS pipeline (RNA-seq, WGS, WES, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq) - Generating per-sample QC reports (HTML + JSON) as the first step of a pipeline, before MultiQC aggregation - Processing paired-end reads where adapter auto-detection from overlap is preferred over manual adapter specification …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/fastp-fastq-preprocessing@sha256:20cb714c6204f1e5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.7a7d60f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
