How To Add Short Sequence To The Beginning/End Of All Reads?
Hi there!
I have fastq files and I would like to add short sequence at the beginning/end of all reads. There are plenty of ways how to trim sequences, but I have not found anything for appending :-) All added nucleotides can have arbitrary quality score.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Do you just want to add some text? If so, you could just use sed, awk, perl, or any other language really..
Yes, I have just written script that does such think in perl :-)
perhaps post that as an answer and see what people think. Trimming is a much better defined problem it is clear why people want to trim. Adding to a sequence is both unusual and a very domain specific need as such I know of no tool that offers that directly.
Then why are you asking this question? For other implementations? And why would you want to do this?
