Plans to support FASTA?

[hmusta]

Are there any plans to support FASTA files any time in the future?

Given a FASTA file as input, would it be sufficient to reformat it as a FASTQ file by flattening multi-line sequences to a single line and adding dummy quality scores?

Hi @hmusta , yes. You can do that. We just tried this approach in one of our other projects and it worked.

Thanks,
Prashant

You can to this efficiently using seqtk seq -F 40 -U file.fa.gz > file.fq
