.fq files with quality score

G/Day,

I have files (.fq) which contained quality scores. This file could not be uploaded to illumina basespace. They require .fastq files.

Can i just directly change the extension from .fa to .fastq ? Would it affect the data.

Thanks

.fa file

This is standard FastQ, just rename them to .fastq, then it will work.
