Hi, Jiexin
I suggest you re-run the Gerald portion of the pipeline, but replace
add/replace the option to generate fastq files in the Gerald config file.
This way the sequence.txt files will be in fastq format.
e.g.
ANALYSIS sequence_pair
SEQUENCE_FORMAT -fastq

Joseph, Joel and Liang,
Thanks for your help. I am still a little puzzled though. The file I've
shown is the s_8_sequence.txt file under GERALD directory. If not this one,
which one contains fastq file? I have the following txt files for 8th lane
under GERALD. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
s_8_coverage
s_8_cov.txt
s_8_filt.txt
s_8_finished.txt
s_8_qcalreport.txt
s_8_qreport.txt
s_8_qtable.txt
s_8_seqpre.txt
s_8_sequence.txt
s_8_Signal_Means.txt

Jiexin,
Your input file is not fastq; it's fasta. If it were (solexa or sanger)
fastq, it would look like this:
@CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:112:735
GTGGTGGGGTTGGTATTTGGTTTCTCGTTTTA
+CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:112:735 (or these '+' lines could be empty)
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
@CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:114:564
GGATACTCAGGCTGGCCCAATTTCTGGGCGTG
+CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:114:564
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
@CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:109:558
GTAGAATTAGAATTGTGAAGATGATAAGTGTA
+CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:109:558
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
see http://maq.sourceforge.net/fastq.shtml for the conversion of the quality
characters to phred scores ... maq sol2sanger just changes the scale / range
of these ...
maybe your Illumina pipeline was run to produce fasta, not fastq? (not sure
if that can be done) ... or maybe someone converted to fasta already?
Hope that helps,
~Joe

Hi,
I am new to MAQ, and was trying to convert one of my reads files from Solexa
into fastq file. I did the following:
./maq sol2sanger s_1_sequence.txt s_1_sequence.fastq
There is no error message, but my output s_1_sequence.fastq file is empty.
My input file looks like the following:
>CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:112:735
GTGGTGGGGTTGGTATTTGGTTTCTCGTTTTA
>CMLIVERKIDNEY_7:1:1:114:564

.
What would have gone wrong? Thanks a lot,
Jiexin
