Hi,

Could you describe the format of input fastq ?
Is there an exemple somewhere ?

Hi Sacha
Fastq format is a standard sequencing file format which is the general output of illumina sequencing data
details on its structure can be found here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTQ_format
does this answer your question?

so you name your input folder within the configfile.txt
the fastq files should be paired end data, with reads separated into the two separate files
the only naming convention we use to discern which file is which in our analysis is the filenames must have either "R1" or "R2" somewhere within their filename.
the rest of the name should be identical
an example would be the following files:
sample1.96650_S1_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz
sample1.96650_S1_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz

does this help?
