**What it does**

Converts output of SOLiD instrument (versions 3.5 and earlier) to fastq format suitable for bowtie, bwa, and PerM mappers.

--------

**Input datasets**

Below are examples of forward (F3) reads and quality scores:

Reads::

    >1831_573_1004_F3
    T00030133312212111300011021310132222
    >1831_573_1567_F3
    T03330322230322112131010221102122113

Quality scores::

    >1831_573_1004_F3
    4 29 34 34 32 32 24 24 20 17 10 34 29 20 34 13 30 34 22 24 11 28 19 17 34 17 24 17 25 34 7 24 14 12 22
    >1831_573_1567_F3
    8 26 31 31 16 22 30 31 28 29 22 30 30 31 32 23 30 28 28 31 19 32 30 32 19 8 32 10 13 6 32 10 6 16 11


**Mate pairs**

If your data is from a mate-paired run, you will have additional read and quality datasets that will look similar to the ones above with one exception: the names of reads will be ending with &quot;_R3&quot;.
In this case choose **Yes** from the *Is this a mate-pair run?* drop down and you will be able to select R reads. When processing mate pairs this tool generates two output files: one for F3 reads and the other for R3 reads.
The reads are guaranteed to be paired -- mated reads will be in the same position in F3 and R3 fastq file. However, because pairing is verified it may take a while to process an entire SOLiD run (several hours).

------

**Explanation of parameters**

**Remove reads containing color qualities below this value** - any read that contains as least one color call with quality lower than the specified value **will not** be reported.

**Trim trailing &quot;_F3&quot; and &quot;_R3&quot;?** - does just that. Not necessary for bowtie. Required for BWA.

**Trim first base?** - SOLiD reads contain an adapter base such as the first T in this read::

    >1831_573_1004_F3
    T00030133312212111300011021310132222
  
this option removes this base leaving only color calls. Not necessary for bowtie. Required for BWA.

**Double encode?** - converts color calls (0123.) to pseudo-nucleotides (ACGTN). Not necessary for bowtie. Required for BWA.

------

**Examples of output**

When all parameters are left &quot;as-is&quot; you will get this (using reads and qualities shown above)::

 @1831_573_1004
 T00030133312212111300011021310132222
 +
 %>CCAA9952+C>5C.?C79,=42C292:C(9/-7

 +
 );@@17?@=>7??@A8?==@4A?A4)A+.'A+'1,

Setting *Trim first base from reads* to **Yes** will produce this::

 @1831_573_1004
 00030133312212111300011021310132222

 %>CCAA9952+C>5C.?C79,=42C292:C(9/-7

 +
 );@@17?@=>7??@A8?==@4A?A4)A+.'A+'1,

Finally, setting *Double encode* to **Yes** will yield::
