Hi,

I have installed the local galaxy. In galaxy, I noticed that the quality score of fastq datasets have to be converted to sanger format before mapping with bowtie etc.

But I did not find that the mapping tools (e.g. bowtie) require the quality score of fastq datasets must be sanger format.

Is it necessary to convert fastq to sanger format ? Or, this is just the Galaxy's requirement ?

Thanks,
