multiPE vs rsync

multiPE

Science & Engineering

multiPE is open-source software for demultiplexing barcoded sequencing data. It efficiently processes fastq files, detects sample indexes with customizable settings, splits reads by sample, and generates per-sample fastq files.

rsync

File Management

rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer and synchronization. It can efficiently sync files and folders between locations while minimizing data transfer using delta encoding when appropriate.
