Using compressed fastq data as tool inputs

• If the tool accepts fastq input, then .gz compressed data assigned to the datatype fastq.gz is appropriate.
• If the tool accepts fastqsanger input, then .gz compressed data assigned to the datatype fastqsanger.gz is appropriate.
• Using uncompressed fastq data is still an option with tools. The choice is yours.

TIP: Avoid labeling compressed data with an uncompressed datatype, and the reverse. Jobs using mismatched datatype versus actual format will fail with an error.
