Description:
From a FASTA file and a mathcing QUAL file, generates a minimal FASTQ file. A minimal FASTQ file omits the redundtant sequence label on the quality scores; the quality scores for a sequence are assumed to follow immediately after the sequence with which they are associated. The output FASTQ file will be generated in the specified output directory with the same name as the input FASTA file, suffixed with ‘.fastq’
Usage: convert_fastaqual_to_fastq.py [options]
Input Arguments:
Note
[REQUIRED]
[OPTIONAL]
Output:
Outputs a minimal FASTQ file, which omits the redundant sequence label on the quality scores.
Example:
Using the input files seqs.fna and seqs.qual, generate seqs.fastq in the fastq_files directory:
python fastaQualToFastq_script.py -f seqs.fna -q seqs.qual -o fastq_files/
