I have gene sequence file with the format is ".fastq".  How can I impout fastq file in to sas for data dealing? Thanks.

It looks like it's a text file,so you can use standard text processing. That being said, it also looks like a complex file.

If you need assistance, its best to post a sample of the file, attach it as a .txt file or post in the message.

Thanks I will try. Actually I used Enterprise Guide to import, and then copy the code to sas to get data set.

R is integrated with SAS IML so you should be able to use
