  • 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

          Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
          by seqadmin


          The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
