I am trying to convert file format from fa to fq using seqkit on Linux terminal. Command is simple as shown below.

seqkit fq2fa Std_metabat2_bin.9_sub.fa -o Std_metabat2_bin.9_sub.fq -j 20

But, I have over 200 files (fa file of metagenome bins) and am wondering if there is better way than converting one file at one time.

One solution is to use a for loop to convert all the .fa files in the directory:

for file in *.fa; do seqkit fq2fa "$file" -o $(basename "$file" .fa).fq -j 20; done
