Hi all,
I am looking for a fast executable that can join read pairs into single pseudo-reads so that I can apply FastQC on the joined sequences instead of performing two independent fastQC runs.
I wonder why fastQC does not offer that option out of the box!!
I could make my own simple perl/python/java code (using chat-gpt) but am sure there is a more performant compiled version somewhere (my best score is ~6sec / million PE150).
Note: the reads are considered non-overlapping, although many likely are, because I want to get the quality check of the full raw read pair.
I do not intend to merge them for further analysis as they would not correspond to real sequences anymore (plenty of tools for merging exist but will force merging).
Any advice is welcome
Cordially
Stephane

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
