    Deleting sequence lacking quality scores from FASTQ?

    Hello,

    I have a fastq with a sequence that's missing quality scores. See FASTQ Groomer error message below. How do I remove this sequence or otherwise fix this so that I can use this file in Galaxy?

    Thanks!

    Invalid FASTQ file: quality score length (0) does not match sequence length (44)'.
    The last valid FASTQ read had an identifier of '@157361978'.
    The error in your file occurs between lines '2625917' and '2625921', which corresponds to byte-offsets '131488615' and '131488674', and contains the text (59 of 59 bytes shown):

    @157362855

    I've used TrimGalore! And Prinseq for quality trimming, although not sure how it will handle reads with empty ph red scores.

      The problem in this case is not your tool, but that you have a corrupt (probably truncated) fastq file. Rather than find a tool that ignores the problem, you should re-download the file to get a non-corrupt copy. Do not use this file in Galaxy or anything else, because your results will be wrong.

        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
