reverse-transcribe: Reverse transcribe RNA to DNA sequences.

Docstring:

Usage: qiime rescript reverse-transcribe [OPTIONS]

  Reverse transcribe RNA to DNA sequences. Accepts aligned or unaligned RNA
  sequences as input.

Inputs:
  --i-rna-sequences ARTIFACT FeatureData[AlignedRNASequence¹ |
    RNASequence²]        RNA Sequences to reverse transcribe to DNA.
                                                                    [required]
Outputs:
  --o-dna-sequences ARTIFACT FeatureData[AlignedSequence¹ | Sequence²]
                         Reverse-transcribed DNA sequences.         [required]
Miscellaneous:
  --output-dir PATH      Output unspecified results to a directory
  --verbose / --quiet    Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr
                         during execution of this action. Or silence output if
                         execution is successful (silence is golden).
  --example-data PATH    Write example data and exit.
  --citations            Show citations and exit.
  --use-cache DIRECTORY  Specify the cache to be used for the intermediate
                         work of this action. If not provided, the default
                         cache under $TMP/qiime2/ will be used.
                         IMPORTANT FOR HPC USERS: If you are on an HPC system
                         and are using parallel execution it is important to
                         set this to a location that is globally accessible to
                         all nodes in the cluster.
  --help                 Show this message and exit.
