Question

Which file format includes both sequence and quality scores?

• A. FASTA
• B. GenBank
• C. FASTQ
• D. PDB

Hint:

Remember the common bioinformatics file formats: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{FASTA} &\rightarrow \text{Sequence Only} \\ \textbf{FASTQ} &\rightarrow \textbf{Sequence + Quality Scores} \\ \text{PDB} &\rightarrow \text{3D Structures} \end{aligned} } \] FASTQ is the standard output format of next-generation sequencing (NGS).
