I had the exactly same problem! It seems the problem is more of -Q33 option as I tried it.
Two things here:
1) which is the wrong quality score, i.e. ASCII char when you have the -Q33 on?
2) our sequence machine was run with the MS-Windows platform and the data was deposited on Linux storage disk. There might be a issue with this cross platform situation, but how to solve it?
Thanks a lot!

There should be no space between the Q and the 33.
You also need to specify how you want to trim by setting variables for -f and -l e.g.
fastx_trimmer -Q33 -f 1 -l 50 -i input.fastq -o output.fastq
AFAIK Fastq's also need to be uncompressed for input but can be compressed on output using the -z flag.
Use fastx_trimmer -h for help

same problem
I am using fastq_quality_ trimmer for the first time and I am having this same problem also on Illumina generated data. Does anyone know what the solution to this is?

I use Ubuntu. The in.txt is a fastq file, which was downloaded directly from the sequencing facility website.
17kb is the expected fully assembled length.

shuang: Can you tell us what OS you are using to run the fastx_trimmer?
Did you open/edit the sequence file ("in.txt") in a non-unix OS (e.g. windows/OS X)?
What do you mean by sample length is 17kb?

When I use -Q 33, it didn't go much further, neither. Below is the command and the error message.
fastx_trimmer -i in.txt -Q 33 -o all.fastq
fastx_trimmer: Error: invalid quality score data on line 448 (quality_tok = "??????B?D?DDDBB?FFFF;FFBB>FFHHDD?EGH>EFEAECEDHHHHHGHFE:FDGA-CEDHHDBF>AAACF=AAEBGFGF?CDDEHH+=CCCCBDAFF?DF.6BFF66...=B<*645,,5A,5,,53>?;>A,A5==*..8A?*:C"

Even I tried to add "-Q 64", still the same error.
fastx_trimmer -i in.txt -Q 64 -o out.fastq
Why is that??

Sorry, I forgot to mention my sample is Illumina. The sample length is 17kb.

If your data is in sanger format then -Q 33 would be the option to add.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
