Note that high-throughput sequencing data formats from Illumina, SOLiD, IonTorrent, 454 and also high-throughput fasta and trace files are imported using a special import as described in
Import high-throughput sequencing data. These data can also be exported in fastq format (using NCBI/Sanger Phred quality scores).
