    Split fastq file with renaming reads

    Hi

    I am trying to split fastq file to one read per file seperately and rename the read name. For example

    Code:
    @HBGAIY001A
    TGTCTCAACTAATTTAGCCGCAGACCAAGTCTCTGCTACCGT
    +HBGAIY001A
    III???HIHG<<???EEEEE?BBF9999?EEEF>@@AEAA?999:=II
    @HBGAIY001A
    GGAACATGAACAGACCAAGTCTCTGCTACCG
    +HBGAIY001A
    4400/67766724/0088??AAAA???FFFFFFFC
    The above is example for two reads and i have big file with reads. Now i wanted to make them in to seperate file i.e here two files and rename the read name. After that it should be like this

    File 1:

    Code:
    @Sample1_HBGAIY001A
    TGTCTCAACTAATTTAGCCGCAGACCAAGTCTCTGCTACCGT
    +Sample1_HBGAIY001A
    III???HIHG<<???EEEEE?BBF9999?EEEF>@@AEAA?999:=II
    File 2:
    Code:
    @Sample1_HBGAIY001A
    GGAACATGAACAGACCAAGTCTCTGCTACCG
    +Sample1_HBGAIY001A
    4400/67766724/0088??AAAA???FFFFFFFC

    You need to learn a scripting language: bash, perl ,python or a higher level language C,C++,java. Meeting your specification is trivial using these tools.
    I'd recommend figuring out bash and the standard UNIX utilities (sed/grep/awk/tr) because if you succeed, your going to need them for de-complicating your life.

    But ...
    You don't want to do what you are suggesting. Fastq files are very large. I mean ... MUCHO GRANDE ... HUGEMONGOS number of records. Imagine creating a file for every record. Result: too many files. It's damn near impossible to manage tens of thousands of files. Even listing the files just to see what's in a directory becomes very difficult. Are you going to scroll for 9 minutes trying to find a record?

    There's probably better paths to reaching your goal.

      Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
      by seqadmin




      The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...
