Hi All
I am getting negative values when reading quality scores when I read data generated in bowtie. Has anyone run into the same issue when using data generated by bowtie ? My session info is below.
Hi Fuad -- ShortRead is reading the quality scores on the wrong scale
(solexa, rather than phred; this will be fixed before the next release). Try
qual <- FastqQuality(quality(quality(aln))
initialize(aln, quality=qual)
to update aln, or
m <- as(FastqQuality(quality(quality(aln)), "matrix")
for a one-off solution.

Thanks in advance
