How to upload .tsv files into GALAXY

[jennaj]

Hello @rp1

When using the Upload tool, allow Galaxy to autodetect the datatype. If the wrong datatype is assigned, you can adjust it. But you will need to make sure that the content of the file actually matches the assigned datatype, or expect tool errors.

• The datatype tsv means “tab separated values”. Galaxy will auto-detect the datatype as “tabular” or a more specific format (example: “bed”) – it depends on the file content. Many common bioinformatics datatypes are columns of data separated by tabs.

• The datatype csv means “comma separated values”. Galaxy will auto-detect the datatype as “csv”. Some tools will be able to interpret that datatype as “tabular” and others not. But you can convert the “csv” directly to “tabular” with a tool like Convert delimiters to TAB.

You might always want to review some of the GTN tutorials. Start with those in the Introduction section. All in that topic section should work at any Galaxy server, including Galaxy Main https://usegalaxy.org

Galaxy Training Network Tutorials : Some GTN tutorials are appropriate for Galaxy Main and some are not. Where you can run each is noted per tutorial – click on the Galaxy instances globe icon menu and review the Public Galaxy server choices. If a tutorial is supported by a pre-configured Galaxy Docker training image, instructions for how to get it will be listed below the tutorial listings, per category.

ps: Next time, try not to double post about the same question, so we can keep the conversation on one topic for context. New questions are good for new topics. You can always add in links to other posts.

Thanks!
