gzip support #47

Closed jianshu93 closed 7 months ago

jianshu93 commented 7 months ago

Hello Team,

Any possibilities to provide gzip support for input fasta files? This is very useful for very large contig files from metagenomes. We can use zcat et.al., to unzip and stream the input but still not so convenient.

Thanks,

Jianshu

This is already supported since v2.2.0, gzip or bzip2 compression of input files is automatically detected and handled to load data.
