Possible Migration

I am no longer with Zymo and asking the microbiome team leadership about their desire to support Figaro in the future has gotten no answer. This is why I have been somewhat absent here. On a better note, I have not forgotten about this project and have actually been working on some improvements to it both for performance and usability. If I get a negative or no response from them on wanting to be involved in the future of this project, I will likely move it to my personal repo and continue to maintain it from there.

A few things I do know about the next major revision:

• It will better tolerate some variation in sequence lengths. This does not mean you should run it on pre-trimmed reads, as that is likely to result in a less valid error model, but a little variation in read length resulting from variable length adapters should be tolerated.
• It will almost certainly require Python 3.7 or later. I like dataclasses and use them quite regularly now
• It will run a bit better on Python 3.10. Slotted dataclasses usually give me a respectable performance boost and I use them whenever it makes sense and I can

Hi I have an issue running figaro within miqScore16s https://github.com/Zymo-Research/miqScore16SPublic, but it gives me the error that figaro is not supported.. Any ideas?

@michael-weinstein I've been looking at integrating figaro into our workflow for a bit, so would be happy to see this continue on in some form.
