Hi all,

I'm assembling a bunch of RNAseq data, and just having issue with one sample. This sample has 4 F and 4 R reads, each 2G. I did not have any trouble during trimming with TrimGalore. I then unzipped each F read into a single F file, likewise for the R.

I first tried to assemble in Trinity, and now in rnaSPAdes, and get the following warnings. How can I check which of the 8 reads are mis-oriented? I think one of the individual reads is mis-labeled - i.e. labeled R when it should be F, but not sure how to tell which one is. Thanks in advance!
