This could be high level, e.g. "other sequence file formats" repository covering GenBank, EMBL, SwissProt plain text, UniProt XML, etc; one for multiple sequence alignments; one for EMBOSS' own output... But it wouldn't be that much more work to do one ToolShed repo per additional file format, would it? One reason I have been meaning to do some of these is familiarity with many of these formats from looking after/writing parsers in Biopython. Having this done sooner rather than later ought to head off too many incompatible datatype names which worries me. Is it too late to adopt something like the EDAM ontology for the datatypes within Galaxy?
