====== sff_extract ======
[[http://bioinf.comav.upv.es/sff_extract/index.html|sff_extract]] is a utility from the [[http://www.comav.upv.es/|Center for the Conservation and Breeding of the Agrodiverdity]] at the Polythechnical University of Valencia.

454 produces data in a binary sff format. Most assemblers (other than newbler) don't read sff directly. Instead they require fasta and fasta.qual data. This software produces both of these as well as a xml file containing clipping information. It can be fed with multiple sff files and produce a single fasta file.

It seems that sff_extract overlaps in functionality with the Roche-provided sffinfo tool.  It is not clear what (if any) advantage there is to the sff_extract tool.  I suspect that sffinfo may do a better job of converting flow-space to base space. --- //[[karplus@soe.ucsc.edu|Kevin Karplus]] 2010/04/24 07:59//
