 Random access within FASTQ files is not typical—generally, FASTQs are used
 solely as input to some alignment process, which then produces a BAM file—so
 they are gzipped (not bgzipped) to save space. Conventionally, FASTQ file names

 Note that in the case of paired-end sequencing, it is crucial that each of the FASTQ files list their reads in same order. If even one read is deleted from either file, the entire read pairing will be off, which will have disastrous results during the alignment phase. To catch common formatting errors in single-end or paired-end FASTQ files, consider using [fqlib](https://github.com/stjude/fqlib) (specifically, the lint subcommand).
