Dear Alex,

Thank you for the reminder.
I noticed that I am using illumina CASAVA 1.8.
How can I make sure whether it is already in Sanger format or not?

Are you sure the fastq's are in older format? Otherwise you won't need to groom the files anymore (as far as I understood) since the newer format is comparable Sanger quality score already.... Saves huge resources!
