Greetings Galaxy team,
Are there any plans for Galaxy to be able to deal with SRA files?
NCBI no longer produces fastq dumps of data, everything is now
maintained in SRA format. This means that in order to use the data on
Galaxy, one must download the SRA, convert it to fastq and then upload
this new, much larger file to Galaxy. The conversion tool seems
fairly simple, would it be possible to incorporate into Galaxy such
that the SRA files could be sent over directly from NCBI?
Thanks for all the great work!
