name: FastQ Screen

description: >
FastQ Screen allows you to screen a library of sequences in FastQ format
against a set of sequence databases so you can see if the composition of
the library matches with what you expect.
---
The FastQ Screen module parses results generated by
[FastQ Screen](http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastq_screen/),
a tool that allows you to screen a library of sequences in FastQ format
against a set of sequence databases so you can see if the composition of
the library matches with what you expect.
By default, the module creates a plot that emulates the FastQ Screen output
with blue and red stacked bars showing unique and multimapping read counts.
This plot only works for a handful of samples however, so if
`# samples * # organisms >= 160`, a simpler stacked barplot is shown. This
is also shown when generating flat-image plots.
To always show this style of plot, add the following line to a MultiQC config file:
```yaml
fastqscreen_simpleplot: true
```
