    Trimmomatic error reading Fastq files

    I'm trying to run Trimmomatic on some shotgun sequencing paired end files and while most of them are working (so I know the code isn't the problem), a handful of files are unable to be run. I ran this code:

    java -jar /scratch/g/jkirby/trimmomatic-0.39/trimmomatic-0.39.jar PE /scratch/g/jkirby/Landon_WGS_reanalysis/Figure_8/00_RAW_sequences/LTH2584Risp_108_R1.fastq.gz /scratch/g/jkirby/Landon_WGS_reanalysis/Figure_8/00_RAW_sequences/LTH2584Risp_108_R2.fastq.gz /scratch/g/jkirby/Landon_WGS_reanalysis/mouse_removal/LTH2584Risp_108_trimmed_R1.fastq.gz /scratch/g/jkirby/Landon_WGS_reanalysis/mouse_removal/LTH2584Risp_108_untrimmed_R1.fastq.gz /scratch/g/jkirby/Landon_WGS_reanalysis/mouse_removal/LTH2584Risp_108_trimmed_R2.fastq.gz /scratch/g/jkirby/Landon_WGS_reanalysis/mouse_removal/LTH2584Risp_108_untrimmed_R2.fastq.gz ILLUMINACLIP:TruSeq3-PE.fa:2:30:10:2:True LEADING:3 TRAILING:3 MINLEN:36

    And keep getting this error from Trimmomatic: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid FASTQ name line: followed by a bunch of dark symbols with question marks inside for several hundred (or possibly several thousand) lines.

    A second file resulted in a similar error but the problematic line was completely different:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid FASTQ comment line: GCCTCAGCTCCGGGATGTGCTTCATCAGATGGATAAAGGAATTTAGCCAAAGGCTACTTTTGTGGTGAACAGCGGGACAGGGTTGCATTTGAATTATGTCCAGACTCAGCCGGTTCCCATCTACACGCAGAACCAGCACTATCTGAAGGAG

    Clearly the error is with the fastq files but I'm not sure if there's a way to fix them?

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
