Dear Stephen (and others):
The sole reason for requiring fastq-sanger input to all of our wrappers was to
force the users to run their data through the groomer. It is slow, but it
checks data consistency in a way that is more robust than just checking 'four
lines per fastq block' and prevents a lot of problems downstream. Here on
Galaxy @ Penn State we see a lot of fastq files edited in MS Word and other
similar horrors, which are being caught by groomer and prevent users from
running into problems later on (and so cutting down on the support overhead -
investigating why groomer has failed is a lot easier than researching why a
particular set of polymorphisms derived from a Word-edited fastq file clusters
Ukrainians with parasitic worms). In addition, even though Illumina did switch
to Sanger encoding, there is still a lot of old data out there. However, we are
open to suggestions ... What we are thinking of lately is switching to
unaligned BAM for everyting. One of the benefits here is the ability to add
readgroups from day 1 simplifying multisample analyses down the road.

Eventually...unfortunately we still get a lot of fastqillumina :-(
I might miss your point.but why can't you use the fastq groomer tool?
- Duplication of data (disk space usage)
- Groomer is slow and puts more demands on CPU usage where it can be done
easily on the fly by tophat
- Consistency (bowtie does it)
From the responses (or lack of :-)) we've been spurred on to change the
wrapper. If there is interest we will commit it to the code base when done.
Cheers,
Steve
