Request for fq2fa to be added to pangenomics workflow #1357

Closed watsonar closed 4 years ago

watsonar commented 4 years ago

Hello. :)

When running the pangenomics workflow from a fasta.txt file containing paths to external genomes, these genomes must be in fasta format, and cannot be in fastq format. I was wondering if we could add an fq2fa step to the pangenomics workflow before the anvi_script_reformat_fasta step, so that we could use fastq format input genomes.

Thank you all so much for everything that you do, Andrea

Upon further reflection, I hereby rescind this request, because why would genomes be in fastq format anyway? The answer is, they almost certainly wouldn't be, and you are accidentally using short read files like a ding dong.
