``` Usage: zcat my.fastq.gz |mfqe --fastq-read-name-lists .. --output-fastq-files ..

Purpose is to extract one or more sets of reads from a FASTQ (or FASTA) file by specifying their read names.

Read name files are uncompressed text files with read names(without comments). Output is gzip-compressed, input may or may not be.

Other FASTQ options:

--input-fastq : Use this file as input FASTQ [default: Use STDIN]

An analogous set of options is implemented for FASTA:

--fasta-read-name-lists .. --output-fasta-files .. --input-fasta ```
