Question

[9521ljh]

Hi. i have SRR0000.sra file.

and i have SRR0000.fastq using SRA toolkit.

then i want to split it forward fastq and reverse fastq. how to????

i try to use SRA toolkit - fastq-dump -I --split-files SRR0000.sra

but the output is just the half of file. i don't think it is right for forward and reverse.
