Hi Scott, If your Illumina data is DNA, then using either Bowtie (no indels) or BWA (supports indels) with the known sequence as a 'custom reference genome' would be a good choice. If RNA, then doing the same, but using TopHat instead, would be recommended. To use your known sequences as a custom reference genome, first load it in fasta format as a dataset into your history. Then at run time set the mapping tool form options to use a reference genome 'from the history'. There's no criteria around the actual content of a reference genome (can be a single short sequence), but the format should be standard fasta. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Custom_reference_genome Please let us know if you need more assistance, Best, Jen Galaxy team On 4/18/12 4:15 AM, Scott Tighe wrote:

What is the best method in Galaxy to compare a Illumina data set to a 1500 bp known sequence?
