I wonder if anyone knows about tools that allow splitting large fastq into smaller chunks. I found a couple scripts that split fasta, but not fastq.

If you aren't using Unix, you can get Unix tools by installing Cygwin.
Like people said, fastq is just a text file, anything that can split a text file will split a fastq file.
sed is generally slower than split, but you could try it:
Code:sed -n 'start,endp' infile > outfile
e.g. you want a file with a million lines starting from the 4 millionth line:
Code:sed -n '4000000,5000000p' infile > outfile

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

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...-
