Hello,
I have some basic questions I think.
1. Where can I find some sample FASTA files? I mean something like a file for the complete sequence (the result) and a file containing the reads which would result in the complete sequence through proper assembly. It should'nt be that big. I want to play with it.
2. Is it common to represent paired end reads in the FASTA format? How?
3. I'm not sure if I understand it correctly but are there only two paired end reads? The paired end reads are from the ends of a DNA molecule (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=503). Therefore we have two paired end reads and a whole bunch of other "normal" reads? Am I correct?
Btw I'm no bioinformatician so I apologize for the stupid questions in advance.
