    How to filter FASTQ Quality?

    FASTX can do FASTQ Quality Filter (http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool...mmandline.html),

    [-q N] = Minimum quality score to keep.
    [-p N] = Minimum percent of bases that must have [-q] quality.

    May do know usually how do you define the minimum quality score and minimum percent of bases?

    Thanks.

    It seems the new fastQ files have slightly different format that fastx quality filter tool cannot recognize it. Is there anything else out there?
    Thanks

      "New"? Since the FastQ format is not embedded in stone then I suppose there could be a popular new format. Haven't heard of one since Illumina switched gears a year or so ago. Anyway, you were asking about other tools. I am partial to trimmomatic myself.

        There is an option to specify the correct quality score.

        I've found fastx to be really slow, so I have switched to Trimmomatic.

          Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
