Hi Elad, Start with the tool "FASTA manipulation -> Compute sequence length" to generate a length value for each sequence. Next, use "Statistics -> Summary Statistics for any numerical column" on the result to generate specific R function statistics (see the tool form for which and how to enter the expression). To visualize the distribution, use "Graph/Display Data -> Histogram of a numeric column". Hopefully this helps. Best, Jen Galaxy team On 3/15/12 9:24 AM, Elad Firnberg wrote:
Hi,
Is there a tool or easy way to obtain a read length distribution on a set of 454 reads in fasta format? I can't seem to find such a tool in Galaxy.
Thank you, Elad
