    428:     @seq
    429:   end

to_biosequence()

Returns sequence as a Bio::Sequence object.

Note: If you modify the returned Bio::Sequence object, the sequence or definition in this Fastq object might also be changed (but not always be changed) because of efficiency.

[Source]

         # File lib/bio/db/fastq.rb, line 639
    639:   def to_biosequence
    640:     Bio::Sequence.adapter(self, Bio::Sequence::Adapter::Fastq)
    641:   end

validate_format(errors = nil)

Format validation.

If an array is given as the argument, when errors are found, error objects are pushed to the array. Currently, following errors may be added to the array. (All errors are under the Bio::Fastq namespace, for example, Bio::Fastq::Error::Diff_ids).

Error::Diff_ids — the identifier in the two lines are different Error::Long_qual — length of quality is longer than the sequence Error::Short_qual — length of quality is shorter than the sequence Error::No_qual — no quality characters found Error::No_seq — no sequence found Error::Qual_char — invalid character in the quality Error::Seq_char — invalid character in the sequence Error::Qual_range — quality score value out of range Error::No_ids — sequence identifier not found Error::No_atmark — the first identifier does not begin with "@" Error::Skipped_unformatted_lines — the parser skipped unformatted lines that could not be recognized as FASTQ format

Arguments:

- (optional) errors: (Array or nil) an array for pushing error messages. The array should be empty.

Returns: | true:no error, false: containing error.
