    fast5 to fastq converter

    Does anyone know of a tool to convert fast5 data to fastq?

    I do not understand the the fast5/hdf format very well. Most likely such a converter is not universal? Here is one:

    fast5tofasta.py. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.


    This certainly needs to be amended if the data are located in other "directories" of the fast5 file when using a different pipeline.

      Sorry, the mentioned script generates FASTAs. But upon replacing "fasta" with "fastq" in line 17 it will generate indeed FASTQ files.

        There's a five line python script in the Metrichor docs that shows you how to do this.

          Yes, but these 5 lines are not a complete script and they do not seem to work very well - this might be a problem on my side?.
          Nick's script has some advantages there.

            I had problems installing the hdf5 python libraries, so resorted to PDL::IO::HDF5 and Perl.

              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
