bug in preprocessing.py -> get_read_paths() (version 1.4.3)

[AlexSurnov]

Dear developers of CITE-Seq-Count,
Thank you for your product.

I installed CITE-Seq-Count version 1.4.3 and I think that there is an inconsistency in the file preprocessing.py. Namely, the function get_read_paths contains the line if len(read1_path) != len(read2_path): instead of if len(_read1_path) != len(_read2_path):. To my understanding, this is a crucial bug, which prevents proper input reading. When the incorrect line is executed, the script compares the number of characters in the input strings instead of the number of elements in the split strings generated by the read1_path.split.

All the best
Alex Surnov
