  • Use .fastq.gz instead of .fastq files in DADA2 pipeline


    The link above is the DADA2 pipeline in R that I've been using to analyse sequencing data (16S) from MiSeq.

    In the link as you can see on the "list.files(path)" code line, there are lists of the .fastq files that is ready to go on the next step.

    My question is Can I use .fastq.gz files instead of .fastq files at the beginning of the pipeline?

    ps.I actually tried to run the pipeline with .fastq.gz and it worked, but I'm not sure about this. The reason I want to use .fastq.gz files is because after I unzip them, some of my .fastq files always broke and the pipeline cannot be done. Any suggestion on the unzip tool software? (I use Mac, so I always use the Unarchiver.app or Archive Utility)

    Thank you!

        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...
