    problems concerning seq.txt and prb.txt

    I try to convert seq.txt and prb.txt to standard fastq output, using maq tool,

    fq_all2std.pl seqprb2fastq seq.txt prb.txt

    here comes the problems, the perl scripts returns lots of warning messages, so i checked seq.txt and prb.txt, find some strange lines, which looks like this in "seq.txt"

      can you post some more details?

      Just need some more details here.

      Where is the file content that you posted coming from?

      Does it come from some example s_*_prb.txt and s_*_seq.txt files (i.e. for you from what I see in your first post, something like s_6_0002_prb.txt)?

      Or were these files already concatenated into your "seq.txt" and "prb.txt" file? If yes, how did you do the concatenation? And could something has gone wrong there, because to me it looks like the file got corrupted.

      Cheers

        Looks like a corrupt filing system or memory leak to me (I've not seen prb/seq files like this before). Are you able to check the original files?

          i got the data from this site, http://www.bcgsc.ca/data/chipseq. I am using STAT1_stimulated, i checked every file, all most all of them have this problem, i guess they didn't notice it when they were concatenating the files.

          I wrote a perl script to take away those lines, so now, fq_all2std.pl doesnt complain anymore.

            Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
            by SEQadmin2



            Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

            There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

            Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
            by GATTACAT
            Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

            Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
            by SEQadmin2


            I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

            Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
