Hi Robert, This function is not wrapped into a tool yet by the dev team. I checked the Tool Shed as well and didn't see it there. But there is another option to get to the same result. The tool "Text Manipulation -> Select random lines from a file" can be used with a SAM file. Don't not use the tool on a BAM file. Hopefully this helps!

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the ability to randomly sample a sam or bam file (view -s) is available via Galaxy samtools? I can't find it but it might be an option that I am missing. sincerely, Robert Jackman raiseal@gmail.com rjackman@bu.edu ___________________________________________________________ The Galaxy User list should be used for the discussion of Galaxy analysis and other features on the public server at usegalaxy.org.
