The convertReads command converts a sequence from one file format to another. This command is particularly useful for converting SOLiD .csfasta files into .fastq files that can be used by the XNG assembler.

Parameter Description Allowed values
destination The location and filename for the output. [directory/filename enclosed in quotes]
file, reads The input file containing the reads. [directory/filename enclosed in quotes]
format Specifies the format of the output file. If ‘genbank’ is entered, the output will be in .gbk format. If fastq is entered, the output will be in .fastq format. [ genbank / fastq ]
