Given A Fastq File, Is It Possible To Know If It Comes From Paired Or Single End?
Is there a FASTQ read naming convention for naming paired/single end reads? If it is the case, is this a convention or a format definition?

It's "/1" and "/2" at the end of the sequence_id for paired-end data or lack thereof for single fragment, and AFAIK it's a convention.

The problem is that I was creating the FASTQ from SRF files, so I was not sure how they manage the paired ends or if they follow any convention, so I wanted to know which are the standard conventions first and see if they were following them.
