How to decompress several fastq.gz files and concatenate them into one single .fastq file? There are two kinds of file in the same folder, some ending in ...R2_001.fastq.gz , and others ending in R1_001.fastq.gz. The work is to decompress and concatenate files ending in ...R2_001.fastq.gz into one R2_001.fastq file, and do the same for ...R2_001.fastq.gz files. Really appreciate any help. Thanks -madza

gunzip decompresses gz files, cat concatenates them, and * is a wildcard. This is all in the Unix command line once you've moved to the directory with the files.
gunzip *R2_001.fastq.gz
cat *R2_001.fastq > combined_R2_001.fastqProviding nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.com -
Code:zcat *R2* > concatenated_R2.fastq.gz zcat *R1* > concatenated_R1.fastq.gz

Would appreciate if someone with permissions can delete this for me.

Didn't know crossposting was a prob. Thanks. -madzaComment

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
