    Alternatives to sfffile & sffinfo

    Is there any other way to extract the reads from SFF files without using sfffile and/or sffinfo? I know MatLab can also perform this task but I guess I am looking for a different option.

    One I know of but have no experience with is mentined here: http://blog.malde.org/index.php/2008...binary-format/

        Thank you very much! I have read a lot about sff extract and I just simply forgot about it. Now I just need to find out whether sff_extract can split the files by MIDs and I will be good to go.

          Why don't you want to use sffinfo/sfffile? It's fast and simple :-)

            : )

            I am actually using sfftools now but I am trying to migrate my pipeline to Windows.

              Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
              by SEQadmin2



              Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

              Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
              by SEQadmin2



              Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

              There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

              Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
              by GATTACAT
              Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
