Hello Susan, A BAM file is in binary format. To understand this datatype, please see the documentation for the tools in the group "SAM Tools". To view the data in a human-readable text file, convert using the tool "BAM to SAM". More information about the type: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2723002/ The best way to view this data is in a viewer such as Trackster or one of the alternatives listed in the dataset's box. Once you have a database assigned, the options will be listed. Hopefully this helps. It would be helpful to please direct questions to the mailing list so that our entire team & community can contribute to and benefit from replies, Jen Galaxy team On 6/29/12 9:44 AM, Susan Hester wrote:

Hi,

Yes I am registered now. I ran the tutorial exercise on the Galaxy datset / Tophat and tried to view it gave me an error and said the BAM file was not a valid file for Win32.?

Any ideas?
