art_454_native2std	

DESCRIPTION

The read directions are different between the Native and Standard formats of
454 paired-end reads.  ART_454 simulator generates 454 paired-end reads in
the Native format used by 454 SFF files.  However, some tools, e.g., velvet,
can use only the standard paired-end format.  art_454_native2std can be used 
to convert ART data files (*.same and *.fq files) in the native format to the 
Standard format of paired-end reads.  

 The NATIVE format 
	The native format of 454 paired-end reads, i.e., those directly
	from 454 SFF files, are always from the same DNA strand as in the following
	two formats:

	1) ---------->..................................--------------->
	2) <----------...................................<--------------


 The STANDARD format

	<----------..................................--------------->


USAGE

	perl art_454_native2std input_dir output_dir
