Is there a way to quickly determine what fastq filetype a particular fastq file is? I ask because I was recently given a fastq which which I incorrectly assumed to be fastqsanger. When I ran a fastx tool on the file, the tool seg faulted. It took me a while to figure out that the fastq type is not sanger. Is there a tool available that report what the encoding type is? -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email communication may contain private, confidential, or legally privileged information intended for the sole use of the designated and/or duly authorized recipient(s).

Hello, We all think that this would be a great tool to add, but actually implementing it is a bit tricker than it may seem at first. To help where we could, the Fastq Groomer was changed to offer a bit more information about a run. But, knowing the source is still the best solution. Hopefully this helps a little, Jen Galaxy team On 2/22/11 7:27 AM, Ryan Golhar wrote:
