#' Run Fastq-Screen
#' @description Run the fastq-screen tool
#'
#' @param fq.files Vector of the full names and paths of the fastq files, usually only the forward reads set, required
#' @param out.dir Path to the directory to which to write the results. If NULL,
#'   which is the default, a directory named "fastq_screen" is created in the current
#'   working directory.
#' @param threads The number of threads to use.  The default is 2.
#' @param fastq_screen The path to the fastq_screen executable.
#' @param aligner The name of the program to perform the mapping, default bwa. Valid mappers are "bwa", "bowtie" and "bowtie2". Default set to bwa
#' @param conf The path to the configuration file, required
#' @param top Create a temporary datset by selecting the number of reads followed by how many to skip e.g setting 'top' to 500000,1000000 will skip the first 1 million reads and map 500 thousand reads
#' @param version Returns the version number
#'
#' @return A file with the FastqScreen commands
