  • sra toolkit fastq-dump for paired end read set

    I've read the threads out there but haven't been able to solve this problem.

    I am trying to separate a paired end sra formatted file to the corresponding two fastq mate pair files.

    I've used both:

    fastq-dump --split-files MyFile.sra
    fastq-dump --split-3 MyFile.sra

    The output consists of 2 files, but one of the files has a read length of 75, while the other has a read length of 9. Obviously, not working correctly.

    Here's what it looks like:

    @SRR514860-split_test.1 SOLEXA3_0001:5:1:1024:2576 length=75

    Has anyone run into something similar before? Could this be due to the way the file was submitted and not necessarily the sra toolkit?

    Thanks,

    John

    I had a similar problem and the only way to fix it was to ask SRA to reformat it on their end. This required the input of the original submitter to verify how it should be split.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
