Hello Austin,
You have the correct method to do this all in Galaxy. Use the tool "NGS: QC and manipulation -> Tabular to FASTQ converter" to do the final step.
Hopefully this helps,

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.
