Bring the file
Drop a FASTQ file, compressed or not, into the browser. It stays on your machine. Nothing is uploaded.
Sequencing QC for laboratories worldwide
Your sequencing run is done.
Can you trust the file?
Kmeggie+ checks your FASTQ data before anyone builds on it. In your browser, on your own machine, in minutes.
Early-stage prototype built in Kenya. Browser-based validation and QC reporting work today; a command-line workflow is in development. Not a validated diagnostic tool.
How it works
Three steps between the sequencer and a decision.
We check it
Structure first: every record well formed. Then quality: base scores, composition, read lengths, duplicates, and N content.
Read the report
Clear pass, review, and low-quality flags with the reasoning behind them, and an HTML report you can share with the team.

Follow a sequencing file.
A two-minute walkthrough of what Kmeggie+ does to a file, using synthetic data so there is nothing to upload.
How to use this walkthrough
- Pick a sample below: clean reads, or reads whose quality drops toward the end.
- Step through the four stages with the buttons, or click a stage directly.
- Switch samples at any stage to see how the same checks read a different file.
What the full demo adds
- Bring your own file: .fastq, .fq, or .gz, up to 50 MB and 200,000 reads.
- Charts for base quality, composition, and read length, plus every validation check.
- Export the report as a standalone HTML file. Your data never leaves the browser.
Step 1 of 4
Synthetic demonstration data, analysed by the prototype's local engine.
