    i.e. index corresponding to the same id need to come to the header of the Read1 sequences.

    Can someone help me out with this??

    A python script to help?

    Written a small python script which will do it for you, you need python 2.7 or higher to execute.
    Code:
    import sys
    
    def writeNewHeader(head, headIn, out):
        writeSeq = False
        for headLine in headIn:
            if writeSeq == True:
                out.write(head + ":" + headLine)
                return
            if headLine.startswith(head):
                writeSeq = True
                continue
    
    def main(seqFile, headerFile, outFile):
        with open("seq.fastq") as seqIn, open("header.fastq") as headIn,  open("out.fastq", "w") as out:
            for seqLine in seqIn:
                if seqLine.startswith("@"):
                    head = seqLine[:-5]
                    writeNewHeader(head, headIn, out)
                else:
                    out.write(seqLine)
        print "finished!"
        
    if len(sys.argv) != 4:
        print "Usage: python renameFastqHeader <sequene File> <header File> <output File>"
    else: main(sys.argv[0],sys.argv[1],sys.argv[2])
    save code as renameFastqHeader.py, the help will print how to execute it

    It is quick and dirty, so don't try to give different files, won't work, and it is not fully optimized... But hope this is what u need

      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
