This was asked before and I have posted a script. I will dig it out for you...

Try the perl-script here:

There are a range of scripts provided by the Bio-Linux team at their code corner including one to Convert FASTQ to .fasta and .qual files and vice-versa

http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/tools/code-corner/scripts/sequence-formatting-and-other-text-manipulation

Check it out.

fastaq is a comand-line utility available in Linux (ubuntu). Hope this can help:

sudo apt-get install fastaq
fastaq fasta_to_fastq in.fna in.qual out.fastq
