Dan, Do these readers support gzip files? reader = fastqVerboseErrorReader reader = fastqReader Do I have to define a special type in galaxy for gzipped files or will the fastq type be ok? Ideally, I would like to keep my files zipped and not have galaxy unzip them, since they triple in size when unzipped. I'm happy to do a push request if you don't support this but I want to make sure I'm in line with your roadmap. I have written a simple tool to convert Illumina fastq to mapsplice fastq. Does that already exist already somewhere? -Robert
