Off topic:tophat equal length problem

Question

[HK]

Hey,

I am running an RNA seq pipeline, all my samples gave the output after mapping except one and it gives an error:

prep_reads v2.1.1 (ecf7617)
---------------------------
Error: qual length (76) differs from seq length (45) for fastq record !

gzip: stdout: Broken pipe

Stange that all the other worked perfectly. Then i tried fastqc to check the quality and it shopped at 65% and gave the error:

Approx 55% complete for 102842-001-042_R1.fastq.gz
Approx 60% complete for 102842-001-042_R1.fastq.gz

Now i am clueless, what to do. I did not do any trimming as all the pre-processing was done my the company who gave the sequencing samples.
