**What it does**

Splits a single fastq dataset representing paired-end run into two datasets (one for each end). This tool works only for datasets where both ends have **the same** length.  

Sequence identifiers will have /1 or /2 appended for the split left-hand and right-hand reads, respectively.

**Input format**

A multiple-fastq file, for example::
