**What it does**

This tool joins a FASTA file to a Quality Score file, creating a single FASTQ block for each read.

Specifying a set of quality scores is optional; when not provided, the output will be fastqsanger or fastqcssanger (when a csfasta is provided) with each quality score being the maximal allowed value (93).

Use this tool, for example, to convert 454-type output to FASTQ.
