[galaxy-user] Upload genome index to Galaxy for Bowtie alignment?

Hello,

On the Galaxy web interface, the option to map sequences with Bowtie for Illumina reads is listed under the Tools heading "NGS: Mapping".

At the top of the page, it states, "Will you select a reference genome from your history or use a built-in index?" The options are: "Use a built-in index" or "Use one from the history".

I have a genome index (swine) that is not available on the "built-in" list. Can I upload this index file to Galaxy under the Get Data page and then select it under "Use one from the history"?

The index file is 3 GB, so any advice is appreciated before I try to upload it.

Thanks in advance, Jeff ----- Jeffrey J. Whyte, PhD Department of Biomedical Sciences University of Missouri-Columbia
