[Biopython] replace header

Hi Dilara,

Opening a file for append with 'a' allows successive writes to go to
the end of the file.

Before the loop:

    out_handle = open("newsolid_1.fastq", 'a')

In the loop:

    SeqIO.write(newfastqrecord, out_handle, "fastq")

After the loop:

    out_handle.close()


You may have to manually write newlines to the file but hopefully the
fastq writer handles that properly.

Hope that helps,

Lenna
