Hi, All
I just use "maq sol2sanger" to convert Illumina's _sequence.txt to .fastq format. I used paired-end design. I have the following two txt files
s_1_1_sequence.txt ; size 4116883072
s_1_2_sequence.txt ; size 4116883072
After sol2sanger conversion, the fastq files don't have the same size:
s_1_1_sequence.fastq; size 3644668984
s_1_2_sequence.fastq; size 3644660878
It is weird..They should have given out the same size, right? Besides, in all the other lanes, this conversion all output the same size for the pair.
Can anyone help me answer this question?
Thanks very much!
