Run the (I believe) fastq-dump tool to convert to FASTQ and see for yourself ;-) It's weird -- I have a set of *.fastq.gz files for a set of *.sra files, and the corresponding *.fastq.gz files seem to actually be smaller! Maybe it's just me, though ... -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact _______________________________________________ Bioc-sig-sequencing mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-sig-sequencing
