Provided by bugaco.com

Convert a ACE assembly contigs sequence file to QUAL quality scores.

Maximum file size: 50 MB. The file is checked before conversion.

ACE assembly contigs → QUAL quality scores

  • Contig sequences are extracted. Read placement and assembly details are not preserved.
  • QUAL files store quality scores only. Sequence letters are not written.

About this conversion

The converter reads records in the input format and writes them in the output format. Data that the output format cannot store may be lost. The notes under the Convert file button list the important limits for this pair.

Run it with Biopython

For batch work, you can use Biopython's SeqIO.convert function. This pair needs no molecule type argument.

from Bio import SeqIO

count = SeqIO.convert("input.ace", "ace",
                      "output.qual", "qual")
print("Converted %i records" % count)

Samples are small illustrative files. Some come from the Biopython test suite (see the project's sample notes); they are not real study data.
