It is possible that this question has been asked/answered before. I tried searching through the galaxy-user list archives on nabble but could not find an applicable answer.
----------------------- Bowtie alignments done using a de-multiplexed Illumina sequence data set (CASAVA v.1.8.2) appear to be leading to alignment problem in our local galaxy install. At first glance this appears to be because of the " @SOMETHING<space>READINFO" read names not being handled correctly by bowtie. This is not a galaxy issue per se but what are other users doing to avoid this problem. We are using bowtie v. 0.12.7 (going to upgrade soon) at the moment.
