[FastQC](http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/) gives general quality metrics about your sequenced reads. It provides information about the quality score distribution across your reads, per base sequence content (%A/T/G/C), adapter contamination and overrepresented sequences. For further reading and documentation see the [FastQC help pages](http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/Help/).
If preprocessing is turned on, nf-core/taxprofiler runs FastQC/Falco twice -once before and once after adapter removal/read merging, to allow evaluation of the performance of these preprocessing steps. Note in the General Stats table, the columns of these two instances of FastQC/Falco are placed next to each other to make it easier to evaluate. However, the columns of the actual preprocessing steps (e.g., fastp or AdapterRemoval) will be displayed _after_ the two FastQC/Falco columns, even if they were run 'between' the two FastQC/Falco jobs in the pipeline itself.
> Falco produces identical output to FastQC but in the `falco/` directory.

### fastp
[fastp](https://github.com/OpenGene/fastp) is a FASTQ pre-processing tool for quality control, trimmming of adapters, quality filtering and other features.
