  • Read in mutiple gzipped FastQ files using R

    Hi,

    I'm stuck in a very basic question of how to upload multiple gzipped files in R on Linux? Could anyone answer it? I'd appreciate your help.

    Cheers

    Just read each one into a different data frame/object.

      thanks, but no easier way to read in? because I have 30 seq libraries in fastq.gz format. It seems gzfile() could achieve the purpose. I'm unsure if I could compress the 30 files and then upload it as a whole. Is anyone willing to commenting this?

      Cheers

        Why do you want to read fastq files into R? There is very very very rarely a good reason to do this.

        You can read everything into a single list. At the moment, I'm doing that with ~900 files, in fact. You typically want to use globbing to generate a list of file names and then use something like lapply() to have each one read in and processed in some sort of meaningful way.

            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...
