What, like a BAM file of unaligned reads? Uses gzip compression, and tracks the pairing information explicitly :) Some tools will already take this as an input format, but not all.
ah, yes, precisely. i actually think illumina's pipeline produces files in this format now. wrappers which create a temporary fastq file would need to be created but that's easy enough.
