  • 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.

              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...

              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...
