Hello Daniel, Peter, I have opened a bitbucket ticket to track a 'select random records' tool request. Please feel free to add in additional datatypes or details that you would like to be considered. https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/668/select-random-records-... Thanks Peter for the work-around in the case of random Fasta sequences! Best, Jen Galaxy team On 10/13/11 6:42 AM, Peter Cock wrote:

Hi Peter - I am using the "select random lines"... so I see the problem with fasta format (duh). How can I randomly select records?

Assuming you are restricted to the tools on the public Galaxy at Penn State, one solution is FASTA -> Tabular -> Select random line -> FASTA. Messy and several extra steps though.
