Hi
I am very new to sequencing and bioinformatics in general. I have been tasked with de novo sequencing of many short reads of a microbe. I thought I'd start out with Velvet. Just by looking at the input, I am not able to make out if they are paired end reads or not, or what format they are (fasta, eland etc).
My file looks like this: Many lines of 35-long nucleotides with a number after each (anywhere between 1 and 65 I think these are the number of repeated reads).
Could someone help me with the input format - is it paired end ? fasta ? What is this ?
Thanks
