Hello all,

 

Does anyone know if Galaxy can process Ion Torrent Data? Currently, it appears that Ion Torrent data is not a supported platform. I know that the data is in FastQ Sanger, so I would think there would be a way to incorporate it into one of the existing platform pipelines, but which one?

 

Ion Torrent protocols are very similar to 454 in terms of library construction, etc. Should I use Lastz - Roche -454 mapping mode? I want to compare the Ion Torrent data with Illumina data (from the same DNA), so perhaps I should use the illumina workflow.

 

Any insight would be very helpful,

 

Thanks,

Mike Dufault
