Hi,

I'm trying to analyze the RNAseq dataset I've uploaded on Galaxy but it is not identified as a fastq file. I've uploaded it as a compressed qz file. Do I need to extract it in order to analyze it and if so, how can I do this within Galaxy?

Thank you.

Hello,

The problem may be the extension of the file. Does it really end with a ".qz"? If so, you probably meant to have this be ".gz". The other extension type is not associated with options for compressing ".fastq" data (to my knowledge).

Best, Jen, Galaxy team

Hi, thank you for answering!

Well, it originally had a .gz extension, but Galaxy seems to have extracted it upon uploading and it seems to have identified it as a .fastq file. Meanwhile, I tried to convert and save it as a fastq file with using the edit attributes function just in case, but it still doesn't get recognised as such..

I guess I'll just have to wait till the eurogroup is over.. being greek and all... lol!!!

Anyway, thanks, I'll play around with it till I figure it out.

Hi, I am not sure if I understand the problem based on this new reply (that .gz loaded the dataset, uncompressed it, and recognized it as .fastq). This was the goal? Fastq files do need to be uncompressed to use them as datasets (unless modifications were made to a local, etc.). But if you have some other issue to sort out, and plan to work on it, that is good to know. Thanks, Jen
