    Linux question

    I have a complete genome sequence fasta file. (seq.fasta)

    Like this (but tens of lines):

    AAGGGGCGGCGGCGGGGTTTGTTT
    TTTTGGGGCGGGCTTGAGGAGGGG
    CCGGTTAGGGACCGTTGGCCGGGC
    ...

    I want to make it like this:

    read1
    AAGGGGCGGCGGCGGGGTTTGTTT
    +
    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
    read2
    TTTTGGGGCGGGCTTGAGGAGGGG
    +
    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

    how can I do that in Ubuntu terminal?

    Hi Saeideh,

    awk would be my program of choice:
    Code:
    awk '{printf "read%d\n%s\n+\nFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF\n",NR,$1}' seq.fasta > seq.fastq
    This will only work if the sequences have all the same length; otherwise you need to adept the length of the quality string.
    Maybe reformat.sh from bbmap could also do the job.

        What are you doing? It looks almost like FASTQ output with dummy quality scores of F, but missing the @ marker.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


          The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
