Raw image data files from high-throughput sequencing (e.g. Illumina HiSeqTM2000/MiseqTM) are analyzed by CASAVA Base Calling and converted into Sequenced Reads. Called Raw Data or Raw Reads, the results are stored in FASTQ (fq for short) file format, which contains sequence information of sequencing sequences (reads) and their corresponding sequencing quality information.
