Hello,
I am downloading an SRA data for a study. The study is basically, Illumina Paired data. However, the study description shows that, "This run has 2 reads per spot" and Reads section show the following:
Reads (separated)
>gnl|SRA|SRR768721.1.1 HWI-ST0798_0099:2:1101:1545:2240 (Biological) CCAGAATGCGCCCGGTGCATTCTGGGACTCCGAATCAGAAGAGGGAGTTGCGTCAGAGGC GGAGGTGGATGAAGCAGCGGGAGGAGAGGCGGAATCATCGG

Does this mean that, .1 & .2 represent the pairs and I should 'fastq-dump --split-files' to split them into two files ?
Thanks in Advance,

Wow. Thats cool ! I didn't know about this !
Always check ENA to see if fastq's are available. They generally are except for recent SRA submissions (which eventually appear).
