Is there any one using FASTX? It need fastq int format. Do you know how to convert general fastq into fastq int? Many thanks for any suggestion.

You're not talking about Bill Pearson's tool FASTX, see Pearson et al (1997). Comparison of DNA sequences with protein sequences.
The FASTA package of sequence comparison programs has been expanded to include FASTX and FASTY, which compare a DNA sequence to a protein sequence database, translating the DNA sequence in three frames and aligning the translated DNA sequence to each sequence in the protein database, allowing gaps a …
You probably aren't talking about the FASTX-Toolkit either, since that supports multiple FASTQ variants.
What are you talking about?

The FASTX-Toolkit can read standard FASTQ files with ASCII qualities
Could you tell us the command line you are trying to use that fails, and show us the first few reads of your FASTQ file (using the [ code ] and [ /code ] tags in the forum, or the # button on the advanced editor).

Hi, I did
$ ./fastq_quality_trimmer -t 20 -l 30 -i sra_data.fastq -o sra_data.fastq.quality.trimmed
fastq_quality_trimmer: Invalid quality score value (char '*' ord 42 quality value -22) on line 12
the fist 12 lines of reads

Are you using an older version of the toolkit? The files you showed are valid FastQ and use the Sanger encoding method. The FastX download page shows that automatic encoding detection was introduced in v0.0.13 so if you're using a version which is older than that it might be assuming an Illumina encoding.

I think as Simon suggests your (old) version of FASTX-toolkit is probably assuming you have Solexa/Illumina FASTQ (which have a narrow range of allowed characters), but you have Sanger FASTQ. Try the FASTX command line option -Q 33 here.

i'm running into the same problem. I just got read off an Illumina GAIIx. Here are the first few lines:

When I try to run:
gunzip -dc s_2_reads_passed_filter.fastq.gz | fastx_quality_stats
I get the error
fastx_quality_stats: Invalid quality score value (char '-' ord 45 quality value -19) on line 4
I'm running the latest version:
[golharam@vail input]$ fastx_quality_stats -h
usage: fastx_quality_stats [-h] [-N] [-i INFILE] [-o OUTFILE]
Part of FASTX Toolkit 0.0.13 by A. Gordon ([email protected])

Have you tried the solution discussed above? This tells FASTX to treat the qualities as Sanger FASTQ...
gunzip -dc s_2_reads_passed_filter.fastq.gz | fastx_quality_stats -Q 33
Are you sure your FASTQ files are in the original form from your Illumina GAIIx? Do you know what version of the pipeline it was?

The long strings of # are a give away that this FASTQ is encoded in the standard Sanger format (Phred + 33). '#' is ASCII 35; if this was still Illumina format (Phred + 64) these would be 'B' which is the tell tale Illumina Quality Control Indicator.
Do as maubp and others have suggested and add the -Q33 option to your fastx command.
In feng and golharam's defense the -Q parameter to the fastx commands is not documented and does not appear in the help message. It is only discoverable by reading the source code (or the very helpful replies on SeqAnswers). The authors of the fastx toolkit could really help by documenting this option.

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...-
