zipped input files

This should support fastq.gz input files :).

mOTUs supports fastq.gz files. From the manual:

Input options:
   -f  FILE[,FILE]  input file(s) for reads in forward orientation, fastq(.gz)-formatted
   -r  FILE[,FILE]  input file(s) for reads in reverse orientation, fastq(.gz)-formatted
   -s  FILE[,FILE]  input file(s) for unpaired reads, fastq(.gz)-formatted

On the latest version:

motus profile -s someFile_S1_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz

2023-02-17 14:49:09 Map reads to the marker gene database
Reads are aligned (by BWA) to marker gene sequences in the reference database
Reads are filtered for:
- similarity to the reference gene (>97%), and
- length of the alignment (at least 75 nucleotides, -l option)

Number of detected lanes: 1

2023-02-17 14:49:09 Run bwa on lane 1

Error: file someFile_S1_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz is not a fastq file

Unzipping and running works fine...

Never mind. This was on me.
Seems my gpfs takes a while to sync properly.

I owe you a beer for jumping the gun :).
