This tool splits a fastq files based on the number of output files specified. So if one specifies 5 output files it will split the fastq
into 5 files. This can be very usefull if one wants to use chunking option in one of our pipelines, we can generate the exact amount of fastqs
needed for the number of chunks specified. Note that this will be automatically done inside the pipelines.
This tool divides a fastq file into smaller fastq files, based on the number of output files specified. For ecample, if one specifies 5 output files it will split the fastq
into 5 files of equal size. This can be very useful if one wants to use chunking option in one of our pipelines: FastqSplitter can generate the exact number of fastq files (chunks) as needed. This tool is used internally in our pipelines as required
