I
noticed that for our new Ilumina data (which generate Sanger
format) the FastQ groomer output is identical to the Ilumina
FastQ input file.
I was hoping to go
ahead and just use the raw FastQ files as input (saving disk
space) for computing quality statistics to look at box
plots, but it appears that the tool "Compute Quality
Statistics" appears to require that the data have been run
through FastQ Groomer first.
Is there a way to
get around this and is this a bug? I assuming this is some
sort of safety measure built into this tool?
