fq_utils

This is a bundle of scripts designed to manipulate fastq and fastq files.

• fq_fakeqv
• fq_split
• fq_translate
• fq_smarttrim
• randseq

And useful scripts from other devs:

• genbankdownload.py

fq_fakeqv

This tool allows you to transform a fasta file into fastq by generating simulated quality values. You can also include gaussian noise into the quality value.

fq_split

This tool splits a single genome fasta file into ordered read with overlap.

fq_smarttrim

This program trims a fasta/fastq file by dividing its largest reads into multiple reads of maximum length and possible overlap.

fq_translate

This script can translate the quality values from illumina 1.5 to illumina 1.8, and vice-versa.

randseq

This tool samples random reads from a single genome fasta file (similar to fq_split, but random).

Genbankdownload.py

This program downloads the genome file corresponding to a Genbank ID and displays it in the correct format.
