  • Problem with FastXtool kit

    I'm a complete newbie to bioinformatics and have just started analyzing my RNA-seq data (illumina HiSeq2000 100 bp reads) and have hit a snag. I'm trying to run the fastx_quality_stats and I keep getting this error message:

    fastx_quality_stats: failed to open input file '/home/vallejov/stevia_R1.fastq': Value too large for defined data type

    I get the same message if I try to run fastx_trimmer. Does this mean that my file is too large? my file is 48G. Do I need to parse it? If I parse it, when do I need to merge the output files again?

    Did you compile the fastx toolkit yourself or get the pre-compiled binaries?

    It is possible that you are either using a 32-bit operating system or you downloaded the 32-bit fastx toolkit binaries and thus running into the error above.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
