Galaxy tool to divide FASTQ files into paired and unpaired reads
================================================================

This tool is copyright 2010-2013 by Peter Cock, The James Hutton Institute
(formerly SCRI, Scottish Crop Research Institute), UK. All rights reserved.
See the licence text below (MIT licence).

This tool is a short Python script which divides a FASTQ file into paired
reads, and single or orphan reads. You can have separate files for the
forward/reverse reads, or have them interleaved in a single file.

Note that the FASTQ variant is unimportant (Sanger, Solexa, Illumina, or even
Color Space should all work equally well).

This tool is available from the Galaxy Tool Shed at:
http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/fastq_paired_unpaired


Automated Installation
======================

This should be straightforward, Galaxy should automatically download and install
the tool from the Galaxy Tool Shed, and run the unit tests


Manual Installation
===================

There are just two files to install:

* fastq_paired_unpaired.py (the Python script)
* fastq_paired_unpaired.xml (the Galaxy tool definition)

The suggested location is in the Galaxy folder tools/fastq next to other FASTQ
tools provided with Galaxy.

You will also need to modify the tools_conf.xml file to tell Galaxy to offer
the tool. One suggested location is next to the fastq_filter.xml entry. Simply
add the line::

    <tool file="fastq/fastq_paired_unpaired.xml" />

That's it.

Developers
==========

This script and other tools for filtering FASTA, FASTQ and SFF files were
initially developed on the following hg branch:
http://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/src/fasta_filter

Development has now moved to a dedicated GitHub repository:
https://github.com/peterjc/pico_galaxy/tree/master/tools/

For making the "Galaxy Tool Shed" http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ tarball use
the following command from the Galaxy root folder::

    $ tar -czf fastq_paired_unpaired.tar.gz tools/fastq/fastq_paired_unpaired.* test-data/sanger-pairs-*.fastq

Check this worked::

    $ tar -tzf fastq_paired_unpaired.tar.gz
    tools/fastq/fastq_paired_unpaired.py
    tools/fastq/fastq_paired_unpaired.rst
    tools/fastq/fastq_paired_unpaired.xml
    test-data/sanger-pairs-forward.fastq
    test-data/sanger-pairs-interleaved.fastq
    test-data/sanger-pairs-mixed.fastq
    test-data/sanger-pairs-reverse.fastq
    test-data/sanger-pairs-singles.fastq
