**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.  

-----

**Input formats**

A multiple-fastq file, for example::

    @HWI-EAS91_1_30788AAXX:7:21:1542:1758
    GTCAATTGTACTGGTCAATACTAAAAGAATAGGATCGCTCCTAGCATCTGGAGTCTCTATCACCTGAGCCCA

**Outputs**

One end::

    @HWI-EAS91_1_30788AAXX:7:21:1542:1758/1
    GTCAATTGTACTGGTCAATACTAAAAGAATAGGATC
    +HWI-EAS91_1_30788AAXX:7:21:1542:1758/1
    hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The other end::
