Abnormal fastq lines

Question

[jaqx008]

Hello all, I obtained this SRA files from ncbi. Something appears to be off with the third lines and I am not sure what but its causing bowtie to throw the following error: How can I fix this?

Bowtie error:

Try downloading fastq file from EBI-ENA and see if that fares better.

[jaqx008]

You are right. They looked just fine on EBI-ENA. Thanks a bunch.

Answer 2

What's visible looks fine. ASCII 10 is a line feed. You might need too investigate how to examine and remove white spaces from files.

Thanks for your suggestion. I was able to resolve it using GenoMax suggestion. Thank you
