FASTAQ-FASTA_TO_FASTQ(1)

✨ FASTAQ-FASTA_TO_FASTQ(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Commands manual, and it's literally about a tool that glows up your boring old FASTA + quality scores into a fully-fledged FASTQ. let's get into it 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fastaq_fasta_to_fastq — the icon that converts FASTA and .qual into FASTQ 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

the vibe check, fr fr:

usage: fastaq_fasta_to_fastq <fasta in> <qual in> <fastq out>

so basically: Convert FASTA and .qual to FASTQ. that's the whole main character arc. you hand it a FASTA and a quality scores file, it hands you back a shiny FASTQ. periodt. 💅

💜 positional arguments:

these are the three besties you gotta hand over, in order, no skipping:

• fasta in — the name of the input FASTA file 🌼 like, the sequence DNA of it all.
• qual in — the name of the input quality scores file ✨ your per-base confidence tea.
• fastq out — the name of the output FASTQ file 🎀 where the glow-up gets written.

✨ options:

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit 🙈 (the classic "wait what were the arguments again" rescue)

ngl, if you forget the arg order, just smash that -h and it'll remind you. iconic behaviour, no cap.
