Usage

python faqual2fastq2.py fastafile qualfile > fastqfile

Description
Converts reads in FASTA + QUAL format to FASTQ. 454 reads are sometimes provided this way.

The first variant of the script (faqual2fastq.py) requires that all the sequence and integer Q values are on a single line for each read, the second version (faqual2fastq2.py) allows the sequences and Q values for a single read to span multiple lines.
