# 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). 

{% file src="/files/VIQEF1usGUh8w4qSqikz" %}

### FASTQ

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

#### 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

{% file src="/files/WcS3KHIPYNZCjDVnc72l" %}

#### Paired-end

{% file src="/files/0zWAs4VPzcnJx9PXOnYY" %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.ezbiocloud.net/home/protocols/genome-identification/prepare-samples/public-samples.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
