RNA-seq fastqc error
I'm running fastqc on command line, and one of the files gives me a error:

Anyone knows how to fix it? To me, this should not be the line that start with '+'

fastq file error

Looks like you may have a corrupt fastq record in that file. Did you use
fastq-dumpto get this file or some other means?You are also using a 4-year old version of FastQC (current is v. 0.11.5). You may want to upgrade.
yes we used fastq-dump. I do think the record is corrupted,but not sure how to fix it. Or just discard it? about the version of FastQC, it is just out of my control.
Best way would be to delete that record (4 lines) unless you want to try your luck with
fastq-dumpagain to see if you can get a good copy. If this is paired end data be sure to delete the corresponding record in other file as well.
