    Split GA FASTQ file

    Does anyone have a script to split FASTQ file into fasta seqeucne file and fasta quality file?

    I have tried fq_all2std.pl from MAQ and it converts fastq to sequence fasta just fine, but it throws the following errors when I try otehr options
    export2std:
    Use of uninitialized value $t[21] in string eq at ./fq_all2std.pl line 177, <> line 1.
    export2sol
    Use of uninitialized value $t[21] in string eq at ./fq_all2std.pl line 164, <> line 1.

    Thanks

    Am,

    The export2std or export2sol are not appropriate when your input is FASTQ, that is why it is throwing errors. To split a FASTQ into FASTA sequence and quality files you should use the 'std2qual' sub command of fq_all2std. This will take a FASTQ file and output one .seq file and one .qual file. The syntax is:

    fq_all2std std2qual <out_prefix> <input_fastq>

    The out_prefix will form the first part of the output filenames, e.g. out_prefix.seq and out_prefix.qual.

    The script assumes that the FASTQ quality scores are encoded using the standard Sanger method (i.e. Phred+33). If the FASTQ file is using Solexa encoding (Phred+64) you first need to convert the FASTQ using:

    fq_all2std sol2std <input_fastq> > output.fastq

      splita GA fASTQ

      Hi,
      The fq_all2std.pl I have does not recognize std2qual!

      Here is the top few lines form the code ....

      fq_all2std.pl
      #!/usr/bin/perl -w
      # Author: lh3
      # Version: 0.1.6

      use strict;
      use warnings;
      use Getopt::Std;

      my $usage = qq(
      Usage: fq_all2std.pl <command> <in.txt>

      Command:
      scarf2std Convert SCARF format to the standard/Sanger FASTQ
      fqint2std Convert FASTQ-int format to the standard/Sanger FASTQ
      sol2std Convert Solexa/Illumina FASTQ to the standard FASTQ
      fa2std Convert FASTA to the standard FASTQ
      seqprb2std Convert .seq and .prb files to the standard FASTQ
      fq2fa Convert various FASTQ-like format to FASTA
      export2sol Convert Solexa export format to Solexa FASTQ
      export2std Convert Solexa export format to Sanger FASTQ
      csfa2std Convert AB SOLiD read format to Sanger FASTQ
      instruction Explanation to different format
      example Show examples of various formats

      Note: Read/quality sequences MUST be presented in one line.
      ......................rest deleted........

      Never mind, I found std2qual in the new release of MAQ!

      THANKS

          Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
          by SEQadmin2



          Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

          Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
          by SEQadmin2



          Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

          There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

          Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by GATTACAT
          Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
