Illumina paired-end sequencing datasets of bacterial and viral samples for HPC training

This dataset contains five FASTQ datasets to be used in the hands-on sessions of the HPC introductory course at Instituto de Salud Carlos III. The collection includes three bacterial samples (downloaded from the Sequence Read Archive, SRA) and two viral samples. All samples were sequenced using Illumina paired-end technology. The dataset is designed to support practical exercises on high-performance computing (HPC) environments, including data transfer, job submission with SLURM, workflow execution, and storage management. Each sample is provided in compressed FASTQ format (R1 and R2 files) and can be used for training in quality control, mapping, assembly, and downstream genomic analyses.
