Hi Amir, If you are interested in adding a new datasource, take a look at: http://database.oxfordjournals.org/content/2011/bar011.full http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Internals/Data%20Sources If you just want to add a file from an http/ftp location, take a look at the Upload tool, under the Get Data tool menu. Please let us know if we can provide additional assistance. Thanks for using Galaxy, Dan On Jul 14, 2011, at 1:54 PM, Amirhossein Kiani wrote:

Hey Galaxy developers!

I was wondering if anyone knows how to send data to a local galaxy instance from another server (I'm interested in sending a BAM file to Galaxy). I see that UCSC and others have done it but couldn't find anything about the API doc they are using...

Looking at the request headers from UCSC, I see that this request:

tool_id:bx_browser URL:http://main.genome-browser.bx.psu.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables hguid:883956 db:hg18 org:Human hgta_table:seq hgta_track:gold hgta_regionType:genome hgta_outputType:primaryTable position:chr10:90997300-90997350 hgta_doTopSubmit:get output hgsid:62857 hgta_doGalaxyQuery:Send query to Galaxy

has been sent to:

http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/tool_runner

Is this all needed? If so how is the URL to the data file passed to Galaxy?

Many thanks! Amir ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client. To manage your subscriptions to this and other Galaxy lists, please use the interface at:
