    Question: Need to create a small artificial SRA file for unit testing

    Hi folks. I'm looking for a way to create an SRA file from an artificial fastq file for the purpose of unit testing a SRA file loader. The resultant SRA file should be small in order to minimize automatic testing time. (ie the fastq fill has only 10 reads).

    The closest thing I've found are latf-load and fastq-loader.py in the NCBI toolkits, which generate sub-directory structures with various pieces of information. Is there any way to go from that to an SRA file (keeping it local to the machine)

    (I've also posted this at biostars - hope thats not breaking any rules here. I'm a new user)

      Yes! "kar" was the program I was missing! It works perfectly!

      I cannot thank you enough for this!

        The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2





        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
