Bowtie2 input read error

[Mark]

Hi All

Bowtie2 is not able to recognize my paired end data input. Seems to be a command line related error but I checked the fastqs anyway and both appear to be fine and properly paired. Note the rendering of the command line in the error. Any idea whats wrong?

Thanks

Mark

Nevermind, I spotted it. This command-line, which was generated programmatically, contains the following erroneous argument.

-S -1509026240-bowtie2.sam

The hypen in "-1509026240-bowtie2.sam" is the culprit.

Thanks anyway
