Description
Description of feature
Hi,
I think it would be great to include the possibility of concatenating FASTQ files that corresponds to the same sample at the beginning of the screening workflow.
For this, there is a module already available that could be included in the workflow: https://github.com/nf-core/modules/tree/master/modules/nf-core/cat/fastq

Research direction
Start by locating the screening workflow entry point and reviewing the nf-core/cat/fastq module linked in the issue. Trace where FASTQ inputs for the same sample enter the workflow, then verify that concatenation occurs before screening and that the workflow still handles the resulting input correctly.
