    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.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
