blt fastq-derep.sh(1)	    General Commands Manual	 blt fastq-derep.sh(1)

SYNOPSIS
       blt fastq-derep.sh file.fastq|fq[.xz|.bz2|.gz]

ARGUMENTS
       filename	   FASTQ file optionally compressed with xz, bzip2, or gzip

DESCRIPTION
       blt fastq-derep.sh removes replicates from a fastq file using fastq2tsv
       to  reformat  to	tab-separated data for easier sorting, then using Unix
       sort and	an awk script to remove	adjacent entries  with	the  same  se-
       quence  (column	2  of  the  TSV).  Per latest benchmarks, seqkit rmdup
       --by-sequence and our own C version, blt	fastq-derep, are about	3x  as
       fast.   However,	blt fastq-derep.sh does	not require the	entire file in
       memory as it uses the Unix sort	command,  which	 automatically	breaks
       large files into	chunks for later merging.

EXAMPLES
       blt fastq-derep.sh file.fastq.xz
