fastqsplitter 1.0.0

Splits FASTQ files evenly.

fastqsplitter

A simple application to split FASTQ files.

Fastqsplitter reads a fastq file. It then splits the reads over the designated output files.

This application does NOT work with multiline fastq sequences.

Quickstart

install fastqsplitter: pip install fastqsplitter

To split an input file input_fastq.gz into 3 different files. fastqsplitter -i input_fastq.gz -o split.1.fq.gz -o split.2.fq.gz -o split.3.fq.gz

fastqsplitter uses the excellent xopen library by @marcelm. Therefore, the input and output files compression is determined by the extension. Use .gz if output files should be gzip compressed.
