error using porechop on nanopore reads

Question

[KVC_bioinfo]

Hello all,

I am trying to use porechop for adaptor trimming on nanopore reads. I constantly get the following error:

Error: input_reads.fastq could not be parsed - is it formatted correctly?

I double checked the file. It is fine.

I am using the following command:

porechop -i input_reads.fastq -o output_reads.fastq

Am I missing anything?

TIA

I don't think the developer is on Biostars and I would, therefore, suggest you report this on GitHub.
