Hi, @lh3 I feel a little puzzled when I use seqtk seq -l0 in.fq > out.fq

The size of file is different ,in.fq:221.3MB , out.fq:217MB

I don't think the file size will change normally，but I don't understand why it is different and Whether it will influence the follow-up work ,can you give me some advice?

Do a diff and you will see. Likely to be caused by fastq comments.
