fake_reads.py

==========

Creates a .fasta formatted file of nonsense reads with a specified number of reads and 

mean read length. Read lengths are randomly sampled from a normal distribution with a 

standard deviation of a fifth of the mean read length. The output is a file named

fakereads.fasta containing your fake reads.

### Dependencies

Requires [Numpy](http://www.numpy.org) to sample from a normal distribution.

### Usage

    python fake_reads.py -n  -l 

> ##### Arguments

> `-n` The number of reads that you want in your fasta file.

> `-l` The mean read length that you want.

> `-h` Displays help.
