Hi, My name is Lanelle Edwards. I am a new galaxy user. I uploaded a tab delimited text file to my history. However, the first column of the data I imported is solely chromosome number and start and end position (ALL IN ONE COLUMN) in the format chrI:1000000-2000000. My question is: How can I filter out these values into separate columns using galaxy tools? For example: Having a separate column for chromosome number, column for start position, column for end position. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks, Lanelle Edwards Lab Manger University of Maryland

Hi Lanelle, You can go in Text Manipulation and use the "Convert delimiters to TAB" or "Cut columns from a table" and play with it a bit until you get your data in the format you want. I used it sometime ago to manipulate data for other analysis, but I don't remember exactly how I did it. Luciano
