Hi,

I am curious if anyone knows how to select random lines from a fastq file.  There is a select random lines tool in text manipulation tools, but it does not treat fastq files specifically, so it will not group quality lines with sequence lines.  And if I turn the fastq file to tabular form in order to select lines, I can no longer return it to fastq form.  Anyone know a way to do this in galaxy?  Otherwise, perhaps another program?  Thanks.
