subsample reads from an interleaved fastq file #162

Closed fgvieira closed 1 year ago

fgvieira commented 4 years ago

Dear all,

is it possible to subsample direclty from an interleaved fastq file?

I know I can sample both files separately with the same seed and then merge them, but it would be easier and cleaner to subsample the interleaved file directly.

thanks,

Not possible. Sorry.
