+SeqKit - a cross-platform and ultrafast toolkit for FASTA/Q file
+manipulation
+
+FASTA and FASTQ are basic and ubiquitous formats for storing nucleotide
+and protein sequences. Common manipulations of FASTA/Q file include
+converting, searching, filtering, deduplication, splitting, shuffling,
+and sampling. Existing tools only implement some of these manipulations,
+and not particularly efficiently, and some are only available for
+certain operating systems. Furthermore, the complicated installation
+process of required packages and running environments can render these
+programs less user friendly.
+
+This project describes a cross-platform ultrafast comprehensive toolkit
+for FASTA/Q processing. SeqKit provides executable binary files for all
+major operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, and can
+be directly used without any dependencies or pre-configurations. SeqKit
+demonstrates competitive performance in execution time and memory usage
+compared to similar tools. The efficiency and usability of SeqKit enable
+researchers to rapidly accomplish common FASTA/Q file manipulations.
+
+Note: This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream.
