### Basic Usage:
93+
```bash
94+
Extract reads from a FASTQ file based on taxonomic classification via Kraken2.
95+
96+
Usage: kractor [OPTIONS] --input [<INPUT>...] --output [<OUTPUT>...] --kraken <KRAKEN> --taxid <TAXID>...
97+
98+
Options:
99+
-i, --input [<INPUT>...] Input file path(s). Accepts up to 2 files (for paired-end reads)
100+
-o, --output [<OUTPUT>...] Output file path(s). Accepts up to 2 files (for paired-end reads)
101+
-k, --kraken <KRAKEN> Kraken2 stdout file path
102+
-r, --report <REPORT> Kraken2 report file path (Optional). Required when using --parents or --children
103+
-t, --taxid <TAXID>... Taxonomic IDs to extract reads for. Can specify multiple
104+
-O, --compression-type <OUTPUT_TYPE> Compression format for output files. Overides the inferred format
105+
-l, --level <COMPRESSION_LEVEL> Compression level [default: 2]
106+
--parents Include all parent taxon IDs in the output
107+
--children Include all child taxon IDs in the output
108+
--exclude Exclude specified taxon IDs from the output
109+
--output-fasta Output results in FASTA format
110+
--json-report Enable a JSON summary output written to stdout
111+
-v Enable verbose output
112+
-h, --help Print help
113+
-V, --version Print version
114+
```

Or, if you have paired-end illumina reads:

# Extract from paired end reads

If you want to extract all children of a taxon:
128+
# Extract all children of Enterobacteriaceae family (requires kraken report)
129+
kractor -i sample.fastq -o extracted.fastq -k kraken_output.txt -r kraken_report.txt -t 543 --children

# Extract everything EXCEPT viral reads (using --exclude)
132+
kractor -i sample.fastq -o extracted.fastq -k kraken_output.txt -t 10239 --exclude
133+
134+
# Output FASTA format instead of FASTQ
135+
