Reptile error correction tool: fastq not readable

[stepa_t]

Dear all!
I've tried to use Reprile error correction tool ( http://aluru-sun.ece.iastate.edu/doku.php?id=reptile ) for my MiSeq reads, but unfortunately this soft cannot read my fastq file, despite this file was OK with FastQC and different assemblers. Do you know if there is any modification in fastq format in MiSeq versus other Illumina sequencers, since supposedly it was tested only on GA data? Is there any FastQ file converters?
TIA
Stepan

Does the documentation of Reptile say anything about compatibility with FastQ ?

Can you post the result of this:

$ head myFastqFile.fastq


Maybe your reads are too long, who knows.

Reptile comes with a program to turn fastq reads into a format it can read. Look at this tutorial for details.
