**What it does**

This tool joins paired end FASTQ reads from two separate files, one with the left mates and one with the right mates, into a single files where left mates alternate with their right mates. The join is performed using sequence identifiers, allowing the two files to contain differing ordering. If a sequence identifier does not appear in both files, it is included in a separate file.

Sequence identifiers with /1 and /2 appended override the left-hand and right-hand designation; i.e. if the reads end with /1 and /2, the read containing /1 will be used as the left-hand read and the read containing /2 will be used as the right-hand read. Sequences without this designation will follow the left-hand and right-hand settings set by the user.

**Input**

Left-hand mates, for example::

    @1539:931/1
    ACTTCCCGCGCGTGAAGGCGCCGGCAAACGAGGCTCGGGAAGGGGCTCCCG
    +1539:931/1
    BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Right-hand mates, for example::

    @1539:931/2
    CGCCATTCCGAATCGTAGTTGTCGGCGTCTTCCAGTGCGGCAAGGCATCGT
    +1539:931/2
    WNUUZ\P^`BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

**Output**

A multiple-fastq file containing interlaced left and right paired reads::

    @1539:931/1
    ACTTCCCGCGCGTGAAGGCGCCGGCAAACGAGGCTCGGGAAGGGGCTCCCG
    +1539:931/1
    BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
    @1539:931/2
    CGCCATTCCGAATCGTAGTTGTCGGCGTCTTCCAGTGCGGCAAGGCATCGT
    +1539:931/2
    WNUUZ\P^`BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

A multiple-fastq file containing reads that have no mate is also produced.
