Galaxy: Default fastq uploads to fastqsanger

Created on 7 Feb 2017  Â·  6Comments  Â·  Source: galaxyproject/galaxy

Something that comes up at nearly every community event is user confusion over the fastq/fastqsanger datatypes. Given that (it is my understanding that) the sequencing industry and tool developers long ago settled on the Sanger standard for FASTQ files, can we now default FASTQ uploads to the fastqsanger datatype?

I think this is fine.

(We could maybe do a quick check for signs that something is not
fastqsanger, while we can't detect what score a given file uses you can
detect when it is not for some files).

Fun fact: this is the most upvoted issue in galaxyproject/galaxy (exploring the new sort by reaction feature.)

FYI - testing this on main, feedback soon, thank you @dpryan79 !!

@jennaj Thanks, I'm looking forward to upgrading to 17.09 :)

This has been included in the upcoming 17.09 and tested at https://usegalaxy.org and a local. Closing out! Thanks everyone
