  • Question: Need to create a small artificial SRA file for unit testing

    Hi folks. I'm looking for a way to create an SRA file from an artificial fastq file for the purpose of unit testing a SRA file loader. The resultant SRA file should be small in order to minimize automatic testing time. (ie the fastq fill has only 10 reads).

    The closest thing I've found are latf-load and fastq-loader.py in the NCBI toolkits, which generate sub-directory structures with various pieces of information. Is there any way to go from that to an SRA file (keeping it local to the machine)

    (I've also posted this at biostars - hope thats not breaking any rules here. I'm a new user)

      Yes! "kar" was the program I was missing! It works perfectly!

      I cannot thank you enough for this!

        Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
        by seqadmin




        The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...

        Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
        by seqadmin




        Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.

        Nucleic Acid Quality Control
        Preparing for NGS starts with isolating the...
