15 **What it does**
16
17 Creates a stacked-histogram graph for the nucleotide distribution in the Solexa library.

19 .. class:: infomark

21 **TIP:** Use the **FASTQ Statistics** tool to generate the report file needed for this tool.

25 **Output Examples**

27 The following chart clearly shows the barcode used at the 5'-end of the library: **GATCT**

31 In the following chart, one can almost 'read' the most abundant sequence by looking at the dominant values: **TGATA TCGTA TTGAT GACTG AA...**

34
35 The following chart shows a growing number of unknown (N) nucleotides towards later cycles (which might indicate a sequencing problem):

39 But most of the time, the chart will look rather random:
