Hi all,
Other than the special case of new lines which we have already covered
(allowed but line wrapping is discouraged), should FASTQ sequence
lines (and indeed the quality lines) ever be allowed to include white
space (e.g. spaces and tabs)? I've never seen this in a real FASTQ
file, and would like to suggest this be considered an error.
Comments? Counter suggestions?
Peter
