Paired-End FASTQ

Handle paired-end sequencing data (R1/R2 files) using Biopython.

Required Import

from Bio import SeqIO

Paired File Naming Conventions

Common patterns for paired files:

• sample_R1.fastq / sample_R2.fastq
• sample_1.fastq / sample_2.fastq
• sample_R1_001.fastq / sample_R2_001.fastq
