But identical read names indicate that pairing information is kept?
Right, but the standard tools for de-interleaving, for instance those developed by @ctb do not work unless the /1 and /2 or 1: and 2: 'tags' are there. Is there something in lh3/seqtk that would work for de-interleaving?
We can modify our scripts to handle that, no prob.
Good deal, but not sure why that info should be stripped in the 1st place..

Because BFC replaces fastq comment with new information. Few tools look at comments, usually.
Is it possible to run bfc with forward reads and then with reverse reads? separately or all reads should be at one file?
Heng - working with r181 here.
If a set of reads have paired-end info encoded as per the most recent fastq format:
bfc correction (
bfc -s 800m -k 55 -t 16 inter.fq
) results in stripping off the pairing info, which is problematic.The workflow I am using is:
Obviously, when the pairing info is removed, splitting back into their left and right files does not work.
