I suppose what I meant to say was that since I was able to add the metazoa.ensembl.org biomart by modifying the existing biomart xml, would this not also work for VB's biomart instance?  Or would this not be what you are looking for?  

Actually, re-reading your OP, is it that you are asking for galaxy to add this source to their public instances?

Hi Scott,

For information on adding Datasource tools to Galaxy, please see:
http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Internals/Data%20Sources
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21531983

If your resource is using software that is already Galaxy-aware, you can often take an existing xml configuration (GALAXY_ROOT/tools/data_source/*.xml) and make a copy to modify for your needs. Please let us know if we can provide additional information.


Thanks for using Galaxy,

Dan
