[Bioc-sig-seq] qa from ShortRead

[Kunbin Qu]

Hi, all:

I have a question about the qa function in ShortRead. I have some fastq sequences with an offset of 33 to encode the quality scores.  As far as I understand Illumina's encoding uses an offset of 64. The quality score vs cycle plot generated from the "qa" seems a little low. Is there a way to adjust the offset in qa? Thanks.
