Options for clc_sample_reads

usage: clc_sample_reads [options] <sequence file>
  Extract a random subset from a sequence file.
Options:
  -h / --help: Display this message.
  -f <fraction> / --fraction <fraction>: The fraction determines the
     probability of a given sequence being included in the output.
  -o <file> / --output <file>: Output the result in fasta format.
  -q <file> / --fastq <file>: Output the result in fastq format.
  -p / --paired: Keep pairs together.
  -r <seed> / --seed <seed>: Specify a random seed.
  -s <file> / --quality <file>: Specify separate input quality file.
  -i <file1> <file2> / --interleave <file1> <file2>: Interleave two sequence
     files with the same number of sequences. May be used instead of a single
     file. This option automatically sets the "-p" option.
