Hi Freerk, This is indeed strange. However, I have been unable to duplicate this behavior with your sample file. The output I am getting has all sequences and the qualities are the correct length. Did you find that this is reproducible? Also, could you tell me the exact settings you used, and is this on your own Galaxy server, or one of our public servers?

Hi,
I'm busy with short-read analysis using Galaxy. Today I noticed strange output from the FASTQgroomer tool. I have a file which I upload, its in FASTQ format and looks like this:
@HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1306#0/1 GGAGAAACCCACATCCTTCTCANTAACCACATTGTG + ab`ba`aa```aaa`]aa`aaaB_`a``a^`a__]] @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1544#0/1 ATCAAAGCAGACAAAGCACCTTNTATGTCTGCATTT + aabbba^ab``ab``[aaaa]\B__X__aY`a[`^a @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_767#0/1 GGAAGTGGACTGTGGAACACATNGTCTATAAAGCCT + a`]]_Xaa^]a]ZVW^_]a`ZaBY^_`^`^^`^[^` @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_415#0/1 ATACATTATAGCCCTGCTGTCTNGGTGGTTCTGACT + aaaaaaab`aaaaa`_a`YZ`_B`]Y__]___V^^a @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_303#0/1 TGAGACTCACTTGAACCTGGGANGCAGAGGCTGCAG + `]\]bbbbbbabaabba`]\]aBabb_aX^```Z_[ @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1554#0/1 ACAGTATGCTTCACGAATTTGCNTTTCATCCCTGTG + aabaaaaab_aaaaabaa_\PaBaaaaaa`a`SZZY @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1845#0/1 AGAAACCTCAGGAATCACAAACNTTAGTTTTTACAG + aaaa`aaaaabT``b_b_aa`YBa[b`P_aa`aa`_
When I perform a FASTQgroomer on it I get the following output:
@HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1306#0/1 GGAGAAACCCACATCCTTCTCANTAACCACATTGTG + BCACBABBAAABBBA>BBABBB#@ABAAB?AB@@>> @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1544#0/1 ATCAAAGCAGACAAAGCACCTTNTATGTCTGCATTT + BBCCCB?BCAABCAA=#@@9@@B:AB>@9BB?>B>;78?@>BA;B#:?@A?A??A?:@@>@@@7??B @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_303#0/1 TGAGACTCACTTGAACCTGGGANGCAGAGGCTGCAG + A>=>CCCCCCBCBBCCBA>=>B#BCC@B9?AAA;@< @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1554#0/1 ACAGTATGCTTCACGAATTTGCNTTTCATCCCTGTG + BBCBBBBBC@BBBBBCBB@=1B#BBBBBBABA4;;: @HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_1845#0/1 AGAAACCTCAGGAATCACAAACNTTAGTTTTTACAG + BBBBABBBBBC5AAC@C@BBA:#B<=BBBB@BCB023CA:?=4#=B>?B<759(:=5
So the quality scores seem to be getting longer after the conversion. Next thing I did was selecting the "78?@>BA;B#:?@A?A?? A?:@@>@@@7??B" and converted it back to the solexa FASTQ format. The resulted sequence was the same as the quality score from the sequence named "@HWI-EAS422_3_1_9_767" from the input file. So my guessing is that the FASTQgroomer script messes up the quality scores. Am I right in this? And if so, is there a way to solve this? I hope the hear from you soon.
