FastQC无法处理fastq序列文件-java.lang.NullPointerException

我正在尝试在RNA seq（.fastq）上运行fastqc，但遇到了我尚未解决的问题：

最后，我得到一个fastqc.zip文件，它是空的。没有HTML报告...我在CentOS 7.3上运行它，而我的Java版本是：

openjdk version "1.8.0_161"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.161-b14, mixed mode)

有人可以帮我吗？预先感谢！

Answer 1

这里有同样的问题，唯一成功的方法是使用以下方式删除我的apt版本（因为mattbull说here，“从能力上来的FastQC已经被打破了很久了”）：

sudo apt-get purge fastqc

然后注销并登录到您的实例以重置PATH。

然后，在Anaconda中搜索0.11.8 FastQC版本，因为我们知道软件包中已包含运行良好的jdk版本。

conda search -c bioconda fastqc

然后，通过以下方式安装

conda install -c bioconda fastqc=0.11.8

至少，只有这样，bug才对我消失，我可以正常使用FastQC。
