    Tophat colorspace problem --integer-quals 0

    Hello everyone,

    Is there an tophat option for setting the --integer-quals to 0 when using colorspace reads? I have a fastq file with phred33 quality. According to the manual when using the --color (or -C) option, the default of --integer-qual is set to 'yes'. There is no option to set the --integer-quals to zero, when I try --integer-qual 0, I retrieve the error: Error: Could not find Bowtie index files (0.*.ebwt).

    When executing tophat, this is my output, which many people on this forum have when using colorspace, but noone has a solution:
    Code:

    When reading this output, Tophat recognized the phred33 quality scale but it wants a FASTQ-int file...
    Anyone knows how to solve this error?

    [EDIT]
    Tried to use tophat with the --integer-quals, but then already stucking at prep_reads: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'

    [EDIT]
    Now tried to convert the fastq reads to integer-quals quality's, but then I get the error:
    Code:
    Error encountered parsing file /home/sge_share_fedor12/jetse/wntSignalling/test/splitted/p1.A3754971/p1.A3754971_0_F3.fastq:
     Length mismatch between sequence and quality strings for A3754971_F3_0001_0 (49 vs 146).
    Did anyone use fastq files from a solid sequencer on tophat? How did your files look?

    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...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
