Hi. I downloaded an SRA accession. In the results, the spots were separated but is in the same file. How can I separate each read into a separate fastq file? Thank you.

Is there a way to extract them straight from SRA and have outputs of forward and reverse files?

Hello,

The tool extracts the data in the format the data source servers, which in this case can be merged paired-end files.

For many use cases, this is the general prep workflow for fastq reads from NCBI:

  1. Get fastq data into Galaxy using NCBI SRA Tools > Extract reads
  2. Rename sequences - do this if the quality score labels on the "+" lines differ from the sequence names on the "@" lines
  3. FASTQ splitter
  4. FastQC
  5. Fastq Groomer or assign datatype to "fastqsanger" directly if quality scores already scaled for this format
  6. FastQC on the entire dataset again, if the Fastq Groomer was used
  7. Trim/filter as needed
  8. Downstream tools

Thanks!

Hi, Jennifer.

When I downloaded the reads from SRA, I split spot by read pairs, so the output is a file with interlaced read pairs, as the figure below shows. However, I want to separate these two paired-end reads into separate files. Is there any method to do that in galaxy? Thank you.

I think I should change something in the parameter when dumping the fastq file from SRA. Can you please suggest something I need to change based on the parameters below?
