Hello Brian, It's not quite clear of if you want to load data with the Upload tool or download/access existing datasets. It is most likely the first, but please clarify if you still need help. To load data into Galaxy: -> The data source is from another location on your file system, then first load the data into a Library. You can actually load or just link the data as explained in this wiki. Once in a Library, data can then be loaded into histories as datasets. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Uploading%20Library%20Files -> The data is remote, load it using FTP following the instructions in this wiki. Once loaded into the FTP staging area, data can be loaded into histories as datasets. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/FTPUpload Best, Jen Galaxy team On 4/17/12 12:01 PM, Brian Luerman wrote:

I have BAM files sitting in database/files that I want to automatically (ie: not through the Upload File tool) import/display via a tool/script/process other in the dataset pane (sorry, not sure of proper terminology, but the History/right side pane).

How do I locate these files and display/load them via a tool or script? Is there a script or particular system call, a change to data_source.py or anything that will make them show up?

Thanks so much,

Brian
