Tool to identify group pair distance & other metrics from FASTQ files

Question

[onspotproductions]

I am looking for a tool or pipeline to identify metrics from FASTQ data such as group pairs distance. I would also like to have other metrics like read distribution.

[Brian Bushnell]

Can you clarify what you mean by "group pairs distance"? I've never heard that before; do you mean insert size? And it's also not clear what you mean by "read distribution".

[onspotproductions]

Yes, group pairs distance is the maximum length expected between fragment pairs. These are parameters for Trinity.
