    Extract sequences from a FASTQ file based on another file

    I have two files:

    file 1: fastaq XXGB file
    file 2: list of a few FASTQ ID headers formatted as follows:

    @M01032:192:000000000-AAEFT:1:1101:10100:1004 2:N:0:1
    @M01032:192:000000000-AAEFT:1:1101:10100:1004 1:N:0:1

    Is there an easy way (perl?) to generate a third file with the info (including the ID headers of the targeted sequences (file 2)?

    Thanks!

    There are probably more elegant ways of doing this but you can try this now. With that said (in tcshell and assuming that your sequences do not wrap around)

    Code:
    $ foreach i (`cat ./file_of_ID_you_need`)
    foreach? grep ^$i -A 3 your_sequence_file >> new_sequence_file
    foreach? end

      perhaps this?
      Code:
      grep --no-group-separator -A 3 -Fxf file_2 file_1 > output

        If sequence file is compressed then extending gandalf886's suggestion
        Code:
        $ zmore sample.fastq.gz | grep -A 3 -Fxf  file_of_IDs > new_sequence_file
        or

        Code:
        $ zcat sample.fastq.gz | grep -A 3 -Fxf  file_of_IDs > new_sequence_file

          Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
          by SEQadmin2



          Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

          Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
          by SEQadmin2



          Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

          There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
