Feature Extractions from Million Fast5 #27

Untar results in millions of Fast5, each corresponds to one sequence. How do you deal with numerous fast5 efficiently. Do you pack them all in one.

Hi Anil, your question is not specific to us, but rather should be aimed at SRA and/or nanopore. SRA converts the multitar into single tar with many fast5, as you have seen. You can convert them back into multifast5 if needed. Please liaise with them and/or with nanopore, as this is not an EpiNano-specific problem, but rather, about fast5 handling. thanks!
