Mock 10 reverse reads gz is corrupted #33

Closed shiffer1 closed 8 years ago

shiffer1 commented 8 years ago

A direct download from the link provided for mock 10 reverse reads when gunzipped results in: gunzip: SAG_rev.txt.gz: unexpected end of file gunzip: SAG_rev.txt.gz: uncompress failed

It appears that the file is not complete. Thanks, Arron

It actually appears that this file is not gzipped at all. To see the true nature of this file: less SAG_rev.txt.gz

However, this file contains far, far fewer sequences than the forward reads. I have not used the reverse reads from this mock community and got this file directly from the creator. I am following up with him now. If he does not have a replacement, we will delete this file.

Good plan.

So far, we have not found a replacement reverse read but the original contributors are hunting down a non-corrupted replacement. Until that occurs, we have removed the reverse read link and are closing this issue.
