Thanks for the reply- I have just noticed that convert_project works perfectly with the maf file as input- so that solves my problem. I take it it does not matter whether you use the caf or maf file as input to make the result tables? So maybe it is a bug in the convert_project script???

MIRA indeed adds a "n" in front of all solexa reads. If I correctly recall, this was in order to store a read tag. FYI, it also edits solexa reads without tracking the changes (//www.freelists.org/post/mira_talk/MIRA-silently-edits-lowqual-solexa-reads,1 ) I don't know about the convert_project errors.
