Dear Galaxy Community, Recent genome additions and updates on the *Galaxy Main public instance* at http://usegalaxy.org include: * New native genome additions:* * *"mm10"*: Mouse (/Mus musculus/) Dec 2011, GRCm38, source UCSC * *"gorGor3"*: Gorilla (/Gorilla gorilla gorilla/) May 2011, WGS CABD02, source UCSC * *"bosTau6"*: Cow (/Bos taurus/) Nov 2009, UMD_3.1, source UCSC * Existing genomes with content updates:* * *"bosTau4, bosTauMd3, canFam2, mm9, panTro3, rn4"* * Details:* * /Native genomes/ are sometimes referred to as "/locally cached/" on tool forms. * New and updated indexes include: /NGS:+/ (all tools), /Lift-Over/ (Convert genome coordinates), and /Fetch Sequences/ (Extract DNA). * Currently, these additions and updates exclude the tools in the group /NGS: GATK Tools (beta)/, however new genomes will be added soon. For now, use the custom reference genome <http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Custom_reference_genome> option with this tool group, if not using*"Homo sapiens b37 (hg_g1k_v37)"*. * Additional new genomes and updates are in progress and will be announced via Twitter @galaxyproject <http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Galaxy%20on%20Twitter> and the galaxy-announce@bx.psu.edu <http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Mailing%20Lists#The_lists> mailing list. * Genome requests can be sent to the mailto:galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu <mailto:galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu>mailing list. Please include the full genome name, a link to the stable public source, and any build or species specific information you feel is relevant. This helps us to create a reference genome the entire Galaxy community can use. * Unfinished genomes or genomes not yet published to a stable source repository are still often best used as a custom reference genome <http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Custom_reference_genome> with tools, but please feel free to check in for feedback. /Thanks for using Galaxy!/ -- Jennifer Jackson http://galaxyproject.org
