[prinseq-news] unknown fastq formate

[Hung Chih-M. <ym...@gm...>]

Hi,

I want to convert the fastq file to fasta using prinseq.  But I got a error
message: ERROR: input file for -fastq is in UNKNOWN format not in FASTQ
format.
My fastq file is generated from samtools.
After comparing my file with example1.fastq (come together with prinseq), I
find that my file (1) does not have length info after sequence names, (2)
no sequence name after + (followed by quality info), and that (3) the
sequences of one sample are not in the same lines (wrapped into several
lines).
What can I do to made prinseq read my fastq input?

Thanks,

Chih-Ming
