Hello Jianguang,

Your data is paired end, but it was already split into forward and reverse reads when extracted in FASTQ format from the SRA. The tool 'FASTQ splitter' is not needed (this tool literally cuts a joined sequence record into two). What you most likely want to do instead is sort out the forward and reverse reads into separate datasets.

The tool 'Manipulate FASTQ' in the same tool group would be a good choice. All of the sequences ending in a ".1" are forward, ending in a ".2" are reverse. Run the tool twice on your dataset.

You do not need run 'FASTQ Groomer' on this data. According to the SRA report, the sequencing technology already produced Phred+33 scaled base calls. This means that you can simply assign the datatype to be "fastqsanger" to have it be recognized by the FASTQ tools. Do this as a first step, before 'Manipulate FASTQ', on the original data.

Are you working on the Galaxy Main instance at http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu (http://usegalaxy.org)? If you need more help, please share your history with the question. Use "Options (gear icon) -> Share of Publish", generate a share link, and then email the galaxy-b...@bx.psu.edu mailing list instead (to keep your history private, is an internal list to our team only).

But, hopefully this helps to resolve the issues!

I have problem to split a paired-end FASTQ dataset into two separate
datasets. In order to explain the problem clearly, I list the detail of
what I did with my dataset:

Step 1) My aim is to compare datasets for the differential alternative
splicing. I downloaded paired-end datasets at FASTQ format from SRA of
NCBI as original data.

Below is part of my paired-end FASTQ dataset that I downloaed from SRA
of NCBI, Does this dataset look OK?

@SRR192532.1.1 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.1 length=35
GTTTTCTGAGTGAGAAAAGGTGTGTTTGGAGTTTG
+SRR192532.1.1 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.1 length=35
I28II;II*2/<5:++,(..*943F@I.('+.35'
@SRR192532.1.2 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.2 length=35
AAAGATGTTAGTGTTTTATACGGAAAGGATATCTC
+SRR192532.1.2 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.2 length=35
9+*9+7@?F1206,IGI+D122&/0++-.>+6/@?

Step 2) Then I performed FASTQ groomer at setting as follows:

a) Input FASTQ quality scores type: Illumina 1.3-1.7

b)Advanced Options: Hide Advanced Options.

Did I choose the right setting for FASTQ groomer? Should I use Advanced
Options? If yes, what is the setting for Advances Options?

Below is part of groomed dataset:

@SRR192532.1.1 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.1 length=35
GTTTTCTGAGTGAGAAAAGGTGTGTTTGGAGTTTG
+SRR192532.1.1 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.1 length=35
*!!**!**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'!*!!!!!!!!
@SRR192532.1.2 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.2 length=35
AAAGATGTTAGTGTTTTATACGGAAAGGATATCTC
+SRR192532.1.2 HWI-EAS269:1:4:655:110.2 length=35
!!!!!!!!'!!!!!*(*!%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does the groomed data look right? Is number represnting the member of a
pair correct? Here they are ".1" and ".2", should they be "/1" and "/2"?

Step 3) Then I ran FASTQ splitter with the groomed files. There is not
setting for the splitter. I chose the right groomed file and then click
"Excute". Below is the description of the splitted dataset:

empty
format:fastqsanger, database:hg19
Info: Split 0 of 15277248 reads (0.00%).

Please help me dela with this problem.

Thanks.
