Raw Illumina Data to FASTQ ?

[Meligethes]

Hi there,

Is there any (free Illumina?) software to convert RAW Illumina Data to FASTQ format (or so) in order to make SOAPdenovo ?

Thank you

M.

Hi M,
you probably want to check out the CASAVA pipeline (including GERALD). It's software from Illumina.

Thank you nangillala, since I have been given fastq files so I don't need any converting software anymore, but it's good to know it altough.
