Standard Flowgram Format

Standard flowgram format (SFF) is a binary file format used to encode results of pyrosequencing from the 454 Life Sciences platform for high-throughput sequencing. SFF files can be viewed, edited and converted with DNA Baser SFF Workbench, or converted to FASTQ format with sff2fastq or sff_extract.
