Multiple reads datasets as meryl input #73

Hi there,

I have a quick question. I'm now working on a HPC cluster and mainly using Bash scripts to launch jobs. Although unlikely, I still want to know for sure whether meryl can accept multiple reads datasets as input in a command as such:

meryl k=21 count output $d.meryl ERR*, or

it must be done a union-sum afterwards in order to get a full meryl.db. Thanks in advance.

Meryl will accept any number of input files. You can mix FASTA and FASTQ files too. Heck, you can mix FASTA and FASTQ records in the same file.
