From fastq files to fasta
1 answer
You can use SeqKit to convert multiple FASTQ files into a single FASTA file.
seqkit fq2fa file1.fastq file2.fastq -o outfile.fasta

Using reformat.sh from BBMap suite
fastawrapwill wrap the lines after a number of bases you set if you have long reads. (optional if you have short reads)I'm not familiar with the application; is a simple conversion what OP needs? Not making a consensus?
Probably not but we work our way through.
We start with this, if it is a simple request:
but since the next sentence says
they probably need to end up with this --> Is there a way to convert a FASTQ file to FASTA file?
99% of the requests for "fastq to fasta" should not do that literal conversion. instead, you should be performing a genome assembly of the FASTQ reads into a de-novo genome assembly (which creates a fasta format file) or align your FASTQ reads to a reference genome. GenoMax summarized it in his comment below also From fastq files to fasta
Thank you. While genome alignment tool will you recommend. I know there are a handful out there but will appreciate your thoughts.
