  • fast5 to fastq converter

    Does anyone know of a tool to convert fast5 data to fastq?

  • #2
    I do not understand the the fast5/hdf format very well. Most likely such a converter is not universal? Here is one:

    fast5tofasta.py. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.


    This certainly needs to be amended if the data are located in other "directories" of the fast5 file when using a different pipeline.

      Sorry, the mentioned script generates FASTAs. But upon replacing "fasta" with "fastq" in line 17 it will generate indeed FASTQ files.

        There's a five line python script in the Metrichor docs that shows you how to do this.

          Yes, but these 5 lines are not a complete script and they do not seem to work very well - this might be a problem on my side?.
          Nick's script has some advantages there.

            I had problems installing the hdf5 python libraries, so resorted to PDL::IO::HDF5 and Perl.

              Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
              by seqadmin




              The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

              Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
              by seqadmin


              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...
