    Can Trimmomatic handle Colorspace Reads

    I have a RNASeq fastq file (first 4 lines are):
    =====
    @SRR179591.1.1 mendel_20110320_FRAG_BC_Ryan_RNA_Seq_2_58_235_F3 length=50
    T.33.2010.0313.1231222320.1.3312.0.12.0212.0.013000
    +SRR179591.1.1 mendel_20110320_FRAG_BC_Ryan_RNA_Seq_2_58_235_F3 length=50
    !!A+!@>A5!@59%!=A'6=4@5'A!9!55=1!(!0-!'%-%!&!%&%60'
    =====

    This fastq format is Color-space. I am wondering if Trimmomatic can handle such file by trimming reads based on quality and adapters?
    (I did not see in the documentation of Trimmomatic that it can handle Color-space reads).

    You will need to use Cutadapt: https://code.google.com/p/cutadapt/

      Thank @GenoMax.
      Actually, I have 100 fastq files. 95 of them contain quality values encoded in Phred33 (so I processed them with Trimmomatic), while 5 files are Color-space. I wanted to use Trimmomatic for all the 100 files for simplicity but it seems that I need to process those 5 files with Cutadapt.

        If you are worried about consistency then you could re-process them all with cutadapt.

          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
