+# MultiQC support
+[MultiQC](https://seqera.io/multiqc/) is a widely used open-source tool for
+aggregating bioinformatics analyses results from many tools across samples.
+
+To run MultiQC, input the LongReadSum directory containing the output JSON
+summary file, and specify the _longreadsum_ module:
+
+```
+multiqc $INPUT_DIRECTORY --module longreadsum --outdir $OUTPUT_DIRECTORY/multiqc
+```
