💖 FQ2FA(1) — the girlies are converting fastq to fasta 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the User Commands section, and today's main character is fq2fa. no cap, she's here to turn your Fastq sequences into Fasta sequences and she does it flawlessly. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

fq2fa — Convert Fastq sequences to Fasta sequences. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fq2fa tmp.fq tmp.fa [...]

literally just hand her a fastq and she hands you back a fasta. the [...] is her way of saying "and yeah, you can keep going, i have stamina." 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

fq2fa — Convert Fastq sequences to Fasta sequences.

that's the vibe. she takes fastq in, fasta out. periodt. ✨

and here's the part where the manpage shows you how it actually looks in the wild, so pay attention bestie:

fq2fa --paired tmp.fq tmp.fa fq2fa --merge tmp_1.fq tmp_2.fq tmp.fa

🎀 Allowed Options: 🎀

• --paired — if the reads are paired-end in one file. one file, both halves of the pair, she handles it. 💖
• --merge — if the reads are paired-end in two files. two files, she brings them together like the matchmaker she is. 💞
• --filter — filter out reads containing 'N'. bye bye ambiguous bases, we don't know her. 🙈

👑 AUTHOR 👑

This manpage was written by Andreas Tille for the Debian distribution and can be used for any other usage of the program. king behavior, truly. 🫡
