# Public Samples

Practise identifying bacterial species using different types of isolate genome sequences provided below. 

### FASTA

FASTA files contain already assembled genomic sequences, where the reads have been combined into longer contiguous sequences (contigs or scaffolds).

### FASTQ

FASTQ files include raw sequencing reads with associated quality scores, providing detailed information for assembly or alignment processes.&#x20;

#### Single-end

#### Paired-end

### FASTQ (compressed)

Compressed FASTQ files (gzipped) reduce file size for faster upload while still preserving the raw sequencing reads and quality scores.

#### Single-end
