dorado correct output #890

Open katiecdillon opened 2 weeks ago

katiecdillon commented 2 weeks ago

Not an issue but a question. Why does dorado correct output FASTA and not FASTQ? I would like to run NanoPlot (or something similar) to get a quality summary from the dorado correct output. I ultimately want to see how the quality changes between reads not run through dorado correct and reads that were run through dorado correct. Thank you!

Hi @katiecdillon,

Looking at the code here, it looks like we're not storing a qstring in the corrected record so I'm not sure there'd be much benefit from fastq over fasta anyway.
