    Why does SHRIMP hate my fastq?

    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to run SHRiMP to align my SOLiD reads in colorspace to a reference genome. I put the .csfasta and .qual files together myself, tried with and without a leading "!" quality, but it seems like SHRiMP does not like my csfastq input.
    I keep getting the following error message when running the following command:

    gmapper-cs --fastq combined_Library33_33_F3.csfasta.csfq NC_009641.fa > combined_Library33_33_F3.csfq.sam

    error: invalid character in input file [combined_Library33_33_F3.csfasta.csfq]
    (Did you mix up letter space and colour space programs?)

    Any idea what is the problem here? Can you run SHRIMP with fastq files in colour space or only with fasta files?

    Below I pasted 2 of the reads that I'm trying to align (also tried it with "!" as the first quality score)...

    thanks

    Try changing the ">" to "@" before the read name

      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, detection...

      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
