Convert a FASTQ file to a FASTA file

Source: R/fastq_to_fasta.R
fastq_to_fasta.Rd

This function converts a FASTQ file to a FASTA file. The output file has the same name as the input FASTQ file, but with the extension changed to .fasta. This function removes the @ symbol at the beginning of FASTQ sequence names and replaces it with the > symbol for the FASTA format.

Usage

fastq_to_fasta(fastq_file)

Arguments

fastq_file

A character string specifying the path to the input FASTQ file.

Value

A character string specifying the path to the output FASTA file.

Examples

sample_file_path_two <- system.file("extdata", "sample_fq.fastq", package = "baseq")
fastq_to_fasta(sample_file_path_two)
#> [1] "C:/Users/BSL CTCRI/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpYlDm86/temp_libpath49301e5117b7/baseq/extdata/sample_fq.fasta"
# Output: "path/to/library/baseq/extdata/sample_fa.fasta"
