    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:

            are you sure this is a FASTQ-int file?

    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?

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
