Best practices for loading fastq data into Galaxy
- As of release
17.09
,fastq
data will have the datatypefastqsanger
auto-detected when that quality score scaling is detected and “autodetect” is used within the Upload tool. Compressedfastq
data will be converted to uncompressed in the history. - To preserve
fastq
compression, directly assign the appropriate datatype (eg:fastqsanger.gz
). - If the data is close to or over 2 GB in size, be sure to use FTP.
- If the data was already loaded as
fastq.gz
, don’t worry! Just test the data for correct format (as needed) and assign the metadata type.
