+      FastQC aims to provide a simple way to do some quality control
+      checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput
+      sequencing pipelines. It provides a modular set of analyses
+      which you can use to give a quick impression of whether your
+      data has any problems of which you should be aware before doing
+      any further analysis.
