Convert FASTQ to BCL

[JMGIzarzugaza]

Hi community,

I am trying to convert some gz'ed FASTQ files into their BCL counterparts.

I can see that there are plenty of options for the BCL=>FASTQ conversion and not so much in the opposite direction, which is the one I am interested in.

Any pointers would be very appreciated!

Curious why you want to do this. I don't know of any software that will do this.

It was actually a misunderstanding from my side. I wanted to use a particular pipeline and I erroneously thought bcl's were the only possible input... which obviously is not.

I used to think the same as you drift boss
