Hi Daquing, No, Galaxy does not work with the data in this format and no tools have been donated to the tool shed by the data format authors to do the conversion. You'll have to convert before loading into Galaxy, but from there it can be prepped using tools in the group "FASTQ Manipulation". There are also some mapping tools that use converted SOLiD data as input specifically, these can be used on the Test server https://test.g2.bx.psu.edu/ or a local or cloud Galaxy. http://getgalaxy.org http://usegalaxy.org/cloud Best, Jen Galaxy team On 6/13/13 3:53 PM, Wang, Daqing wrote:

Hello,

I wonder if Galaxy take SOLiD XSQ format data as input for mapping. I know it takes csfasta/qual data.

Does anyone try this kind of analysis with SOLiD XSQ format?

Any feedback and advice is appreciate it.

Thank you!
