How to decompress several fastq.gz files and concatenate them into one single .fastq file? There are two kinds of file in the same folder, some ending in ...R2_001.fastq.gz , and others ending in R1_001.fastq.gz. The work is to decompress and concatenate files ending in ...R2_001.fastq.gz into one R2_001.fastq file, and do the same for ...R2_001.fastq.gz files. Really appreciate any help. Thanks -madza

gunzip decompresses gz files, cat concatenates them, and * is a wildcard. This is all in the Unix command line once you've moved to the directory with the files.
gunzip *R2_001.fastq.gz
cat *R2_001.fastq > combined_R2_001.fastqProviding nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.com -
Code:zcat *R2* > concatenated_R2.fastq.gz zcat *R1* > concatenated_R1.fastq.gz

Would appreciate if someone with permissions can delete this for me.

Didn't know crossposting was a prob. Thanks. -madzaComment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...09-01-2026, 05:41 AM
