DOES MGI SEQUENCING RESULT CONTAINS MULTIPLE FILES FOR SINGLE SAMPLE

Question

[manaswiniparija3]

HII.. I got a whole genome sequenced by MGI (short read sequencing). but instead of 2 files(read1 and read2) we got 4 different set of files for a single organism i.e. i got 4 pair of fastq files. i am new to BGseq. i wanted to know is it normal and how i can merge them into a single pair of files ???

ALL-UPPERCASE IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING IN THE INTERNET, THANK YOU.

It would be helpful to show us the file names. You probably received data from multiple lanes, and you don't need to merge them before going further into the alignment step.
