fastq unavailable -- Tool does not recognize inputs? How to check why

Hi @TTP

You probably just need to change the datatype of your datasets.

Tools will only accept datasets with a datatype assigned that matches one of the datatypes in input field prompt. Any other data with a different datatype is filtered out as a potential input. All tools work this way.

Fastq info does basic validation/format checks. That’s the output when it doesn’t find a problem (“pass”).

FastQC generates more metrics. The quality score scaling is included in the top section. This help from yesterday explains how to review/read a FastQC report: FastQC Overrepresented sequences percentage - #2 by jennaj
