[Bioperl-l] How to Obtain Nucleotide Sequence from SeqIO::fastq

[Roy Chaudhuri]

Hi Alan,

It looks like there wasn't any problem with the earlier e-mail, and that 
your file is not Fastq, but rather some unusual Fastq-like format - 
where did you get the file from?

Here's a one-liner to convert your file into standard Fastq:

perl -ne 'print; $_=<>; s/^\+//; print; $_=<>; s/^\+//; print "+\n$_";' 
< exampleData.fastq > standard.fastq

I've assumed that your sequences and qualities are all single-line with 
a + prefix.

Once you have a standard Fastq file you should be able to parse it with 
BioPerl.

Roy.
