Section

The read sequence output is a multi-FASTA file, where each fasta block contains a description line that starts with a ">" ("greater than") symbol and the following one or multiple lines containing the read sequence. If a quality/error-model is provided, the very related FASTQ file format is produced, where the ">" identifier is replaced by the "@" symbol, and a quality block is following the fasta block, which uses a "+" separator and subsequently provides the qualities of the read sequences. The description line contains the read identifier as described in the Sequencing Section.
