Long Read Quality Estimation

Question

[sipsik]

Hello,

I'm using pacbio long reads for my project and want to estimate different parameters of the data, i.e. statistics for read length and quality. Are there any tools that would provide such a functionality?

Best,
Ksenia

FASTQC http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/ from Babraham labs will provide a bunch of statistics from the fastq files.
