Hello Shenwiyn,

For a genome such as "nt", then you will want all of the files starting with "nt" in this directory. Use the ones ending in "md5" to double check that the download was complete for each.

If you are looking to just including the databases on the Public Main Galaxy server, there are three from this division: nt, htgs, and wgs. You can of course pick these or any others that you want for your own local.

We also include one other database, the 
bacteriophage ΦX174, as a sort of homage.
Read why here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_X_174
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/870828
You can find/download the fasta in genbank, then create the indexes with formatdb.

Hopefully this helps,

Jen
Galaxy team
