error message

Dear Adam,

I am trying to use RemoveFastqcOverrepSequenceReads.py and I am getting the following error message. Could you please save me?

Did you solve this issue ? I am new to bioinfomatics and have been following the same pipeline for Denovo-sequencing and I have the exact error as yours while running this script.

as best as i can tell, you never provided as arguments (via -fql and -fqr) the text files output by fastqc. that is whether the over-represented sequences come from. sorry for the very late reply to this. working on updating this script today ... so stay tuned for a new version
