Hi, I set up a local galaxy in my MacPro on 1/3/2013 using: hg clone https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist/ into this directory: ~/ngs/applications/galaxy-dist Indexed hg19.fa using bwa index to ~/ngs/refgenomes/hg19/bwa_indexed/ -rw-r--r-- 1 JS staff 6597 Jan 2 15:03 hg19.fa.amb -rw-r--r-- 1 JS staff 6844 Jan 2 15:03 hg19.fa.ann -rw-r--r-- 1 JS staff 3101804844 Jan 2 15:02 hg19.fa.bwt -rw-r--r-- 1 JS staff 775451186 Jan 2 15:03 hg19.fa.pac -rw-r--r-- 1 JS staff 1550902424 Jan 2 15:06 hg19.fa.sa Added: hg19 hg19 hg19 ~/ngs/refgenomes/hg19/bwa_indexed/hg19 to this file: ~/ngs/applications/shed_tools/toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/devteam/bwa_wrappers/ffa8aaa14f7c/bwa_wrappers/tool-data/bwa_index.loc BWA shows up on the galaxy tools list, but the local reference genome box remains empty. It runs fine when I use a reference sequence (chr22.fa) from history. If I download bwa (or bowtie2) and install according to the steps in http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/NGS%20Local%20Setup I have the same problem (empty local reference). What am I missing?
