```
    Constructor for byte[] arrays
    
    Parameters:
    
    readName - the read name (without FastqConstants.SEQUENCE_HEADER)
    
    readBases - the read sequence bases as ASCII bytes ACGTN=.
    
    qualityHeader - the quality header (without FastqConstants.SEQUENCE_HEADER)

    other - record to copy
- Method Detail
  - getReadHeader
```
@Deprecated
public String getReadHeader()
```
    Deprecated.
    since 02/2017. Use getReadName() instead
    
    Returns:
    
    the read name
  - getReadName
```
public String getReadName()
```
    Get the read name
    
    Returns:
    
    the read name (may be null).
  - getReadString
```
public String getReadString()
```
    Get the DNA sequence
    
    Returns:
    
    read sequence as a string of ACGTN= (may be null).
  - getReadBases
```
public byte[] getReadBases()
```
    Get the DNA sequence.
    
    Returns:
    
    read sequence as ASCII bytes ACGTN=; SAMRecord.NULL_SEQUENCE if no bases are present.
  - getBaseQualityString
```
public String getBaseQualityString()
```
    Get the base qualities encoded as a FASTQ string
    
    Returns:
    
    the quality string (may be null).
  - getBaseQualities
```
public byte[] getBaseQualities()
```
    Get the base qualities as binary PHRED scores (not ASCII)
    
    Returns:
    
    the base quality; SAMRecord.NULL_QUALS if no bases are present.
  - getReadLength
```
public int getReadLength()
```
    Get the read length
    
    Returns:
    
    number of bases in the read
  - getBaseQualityHeader
```
public String getBaseQualityHeader()
```
    Get the base quality header
    
    Returns:
    
    the base quality header (may be null).
  - length
```
@Deprecated
public int length()
```
    Deprecated.
    since 02/2017. Use getReadLength() instead
    
    shortcut to getReadString().length()
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - toFastQString
```
public String toFastQString()
```
    Returns the record as the String FASTQ format.
    
    See Also:
    
    FastqEncoder.encode(FastqRecord)
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns toFastQString(). WARNING: This method will be changed in the future for a simpler representation of the object. For code relying on the formatting as a FASTQ String, please refactor your code to use toFastQString().
    
    Overrides:
