Hi Branden,
If you look at some of the NGS tools (see SAM-to-BAM for instance,
because it's simple) you can see the way we have handled this, which
is to offer several pre-built indexes but also give the user the
option to use a fasta file for which there is no pre-built index,
through the use of conditionals. So there is definitely no need to
make an entirely separate tool for the indexing. Also, note that
handling files used for input/output/indexes for external tools can
sometimes be tricky, if those tools expect the files to have
particular extensions. SAM-to-BAM also handles this situation with
some temp file renaming trickery.
For the pre-built indexes, once you have them built, have a look at
the DataIntegration wiki page, but
http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/NGSLocalSetup
will also be helpful to you (start with the "Setting Up the
Reference Genomes for NGS Tools" section).
Let us know if you run into any more issues.
Regards,
Kelly
Galaxy Team

Hi Hans,
Thanks for the advice. I agree it does make more sense to generate
the indexes once. Would I create those indexes in the same
directory as the FASTA and follow the DataIntegration document here?
