Hi everyone,
Has anyone encountered decompressing problems with dataset from European Genome-Phenome Arichives (EGA) before? I downloaded some RNAseq data. The files all have the .fastq.gz suffix. But gunzip -d could not decompress any of the files, saying they are not in gzip format. FASTQC also didn't accept it, citing the same problem. It looks like that for each sample there are two .fastq.gz files, so I merged two files using cat. But it didn't help either.
I am still very new to this. Am I doing it wrong? Should I have used different commands to decompress it ?
Thanks in advance.
