anvi-script-gen-pseudo-paired-reads-from-fastq [program]

A script that takes a FASTQ file that is not paired-end (i.e., R1 alone) and converts it into two FASTQ files that are paired-end (i.e., R1 and R2). This is a quick-and-dirty workaround that halves each read from the original FASTQ and puts one half in the FASTQ file for R1 and puts the reverse-complement of the second half in the FASTQ file for R2. If you've ended up here, things have clearly not gone very well for you, and Evan, who battled similar battles and ended up implementing this solution wholeheartedly sympathizes.

Usage

This program takes in a short-reads-fasta file and tries to recreate what paired reads for the data in that fasta file might look like.

An arbitrarily chosen half of the reads will be put into the R1 output, while the other half will be reverse complemented and put into the R2 output.

For example, if you ran

Then you would end up with two files:

• MY_READS_1.fastq which contains half of the reads straight out of your input file
• MY_READS_2.fastq which contains the reverse complement of the other half of the reads.
