  • fastx_toolkit can't work

    when i use fastx_toolkits ,just like fastq_quality_filter:

    $ fastq_quality_filter -q 5 -p 50 -i ./SampleS_1.fq -o ./SampleSfilter_1.fq

    unfortunately,it returns as:

    fastq_quality_filter: Invalid quality score value (char '#' ord 35 quality value -29) on line 4

    how can I solve it ?

    The program is using solexa quality scores (starting at 64) instead of sanger (starting at 33). According to the fastx website, support for sanger quality scores was added in version 0.0.13. Which version are you running?

      Try the command line option -Q 33 to indicate Sanger phred scores. That option has worked for me in the past

          i add this option ,but another error is happened like:

          fastq_quality_filter: Invalid quality score value (char 'J' ord 74 quality value 41) on line 4

            Can you post a few (12) lines of your FastQ file?

              I always thought it was -Q33... Does -Q 33 work?

              [edit] Oh, yes, it does.

                  letusgo,

                  Are you sure that you are using v. 0.0.13? See this response to a thread about this issue from last year. (Hint, try searching the forum first, your question may already have been answered.) Using v. 0.0.13 and the '-Q 33' option together should work. If it doesn't then your FASTQ file may be malformed.

                      O.K. I missed this before. Clearly your quality lines are malformed; are these after you converted them? You have ASCII values ranging from 35 (#) to 105 (i). No valid FASTQ files for Illumina reads uses a range this wide.

                        they come from a seqencing company,i didn't convert them.but when i convert them to Illumina fastq,their ASCII values is also malformed,what can i do?

                          Ask the company what they did to create such data..?

                            Just curious, I googled the unique machine id: hwi-st298.
                            And I found this:
                            http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15928
                            It looks that the company triggered the malformation not the first time.
                            Which company it is? BGI?

                              The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

                              by seqadmin


                              Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
