== Status ==
The FastQ Validator is on our [[Todo List]].
== Valid FastQ File Requirements ==
A valid fastQ file should meet the following requirements:
* A base sequence should have non-zero length.
* A quality string should be present for every base sequence.
* Paired quality and base sequences should be of the same length.
* Valid quality values should all have ASCII codes > 32.
* Valid bases should be ACTG or N, unless ambiguous bases are explicitly allowed by the application consuming the file.
* Every entry in the file should have a unique identifier.
