Hello,
I have a very general question regarding using Galaxy. I have analysed paired end samples belonging to different projects. I did the initial QC & mapping on all the files together. Now I want to segregate the files after bowtie into different folders based on projects. Can anyone guide how to do this?
Hi @RoshanVaid,
Maybe consider using separate histories for each project.
Check this: FAQ: Copy a dataset between histories
Kind regards,
Igor
Thank you Igor! It kind of worked.
Glad that worked @RoshanVaid !!
Another option for organization can involve tagging your data when loading it up (or, after) by applying tags based on “rules” defined by you. This involves using characteristics of the data to create an on-demand metadata sample sheet (or, your own uploaded metadata sample sheet) to define and assign tags to represent logical groupings of samples (group tags) or individual samples (name tags), or really anything else that you may want to track. This unlocks the ability to follow related data throughout an analysis without relying on file names.
Relevant for your use case: once data is tagged, you’ll be able to use the Collection Operations tools to manipulate the organization in sophisticated ways. This can include splitting data into derivative collections – then you can copy those collection folders into different histories in simple batches. Or, maybe process everything together through some common workflows then split off for the final steps.

This sounds a lot like what you are doing, so I thought it was worth mentioning!
