Read FASTQ files #9

Closed sjackman closed 8 years ago

Even if the quality values were ignored, it would be very helpful for fasta2DB to be able to read FASTQ files, to save converting FASTQ to FASTA.

Hi, I hope you'll forgive me but I'm inclined not to do this for the simple reason that the q-values are bloody useless, so in my view, its a waste of time to have the machine generate .fastq to being with. If you use my extraction tools in the DEXTRACT module you can just get the .fasta. Cheers, Gene
