Before you submit a sequence file to a core facility, share it with a collaborator, or start an analysis, run this short pre-flight check. It catches the boring file problems that cause rejected submissions and failed imports: truncated files, mismatched headers and records, wrong formats, and mixed-up line endings. You need no programming and no paid tool to follow it. Each step tells you what a pass looks like and what to do on a fail.
