Unable to run Trans-ABySS on RNA_seq data?

Question

[sunnykevin97]

I'm trying to run transabyss on RNA_Seq data obtained from Illumina Novaseq, says /home/data/brain_samples/fastqgz/10_S9_R1_001_trim.fastq:440: error: sequence with ID `A00943:16:HHMNGDRXX:1:2101:20609:1047/1' is empty make: * [transabyss-1.fa] Error

Something is strange here:

10_S9_R1_001.fastq:@A00943:16:HHMNGDRXX:1:2101:20609:1047 1:N:0:CTGCTTCC+GATAGATC
10_S9_R1_001.fastq-
GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACCTGCTTCCATCTCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTGAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Why is the fastq header followed by this 10_S9_R1_001.fastq-

If this is what your fastq files look like then they are malformed. This could have happened during trimming which also seems to have left some 0 base pair (no sequence) reads. You will need to remove those by either redoing your trimming with a different program or filtering your currently files with reformat.sh minlen=10 (adjust the number as needed).
