Hi Peter,

There are still no plans to add this into the main data model, but it should be possible to add in a sub-class to your own instance. If you need help details - please let us know,

Thanks,

Hi Jen, I don't understand how a sub-class would work here - an example would be great. In addition to the type of sequence in FASTA (DNA, RNA, or protein) it struck me that the variant of FASTQ file (Sanger, Solexa, Illumina 1.3+) would also be a situation which might benefit from file sub-types in Galaxy. Thanks, Peter
