input fasta files

[ngotoor2]

Hi,
Can we use .fasta as input read files?
Is it hard-coded to work only with only .fastaq files as input? If yes, where is the code for that?

Hello,

Yes, the present implementation works only with fastq. It is something we have been intending to fix for some time, since we internally convert fastq to fasta before aligning the sequences. I will try to push a patch this week to fix this.

Sorry for the hassle.

Awesome and thanks! I'll check back later this week for any updated changes.

Hi Miten,
Just wondering if the implementation supports .fasta as input now?

Hello,

Sorry for the delay. I'll have that patched up in a couple of days. I'll let you know when done.
