 [Kevin] I think that we want to select the k-mer size manually, rather than relying on quake. ​ Their default cutoff is very conservative,​ and we'll probably do better over-correcting than under-correcting.  ​ [Kevin] I think that we want to select the k-mer size manually, rather than relying on quake. ​ Their default cutoff is very conservative,​ and we'll probably do better over-correcting than under-correcting.  ​
 If we look at the hugely over-represented k-mers (like the adapter sequences), and compare the true sequences to one that are one base different, we see that the true ones are about 30 times as frequent. ​ Thus quake'​s idea of correcting only the rarely seen k-mers isn't quite right. ​ What we really want to correct are those k-mers that are close neighbors of much more frequent k-mers. ​ I've not figured out yet precisely what "much more frequent"​ should mean. If we look at the hugely over-represented k-mers (like the adapter sequences), and compare the true sequences to one that are one base different, we see that the true ones are about 30 times as frequent. ​ Thus quake'​s idea of correcting only the rarely seen k-mers isn't quite right. ​ What we really want to correct are those k-mers that are close neighbors of much more frequent k-mers. ​ I've not figured out yet precisely what "much more frequent"​ should mean.

 +===== Potential Problems ======
 +  * Input files need to have an extension, or Quake will throw a substr error when trying to merge hidden files into a result.
 +  * With paired-end input, Quake will output two files for each paired-end read.  One will be the cor.fastq file, which contains corrected, paired reads. ​ The other will be the cor_single.fastq file, which contains reads where only one pair could be corrected. ​ You can treat the cor_single.fastq file as a single read file.
