I wanted to upload a genome, because that seemed like something useful. However, I had to compress it (four base pairs per byte) in order for it to fit the 500 kB limit.
The text input box doesn't faithfully transmit raw binary data, so it's really not ideal for this (i.e. it deletes null and special ascii characters, which removes huge sections of the sequence). Can an admin please make it possible to just upload a text file instead of having to type the text in the browser?

hi Lymm! why binary data? did you try FASTA format?

@Lymm
What about uuencode the compressed text file?

aah no sorry, I've checked now. @Lymm send a mail at support@asgardia.space with your ID, the request and the sequence, explaining why the text imput is not recommended

The FASTA sequence comes out to around 1.67 MB. Uuencoding seemed like it would help, but the size ends up being about 570 kB.
I guess I will try emailing them...

I've already uploaded my file.

how can I edit and upload again ?

Thanks

Alex
