Hello I'm new in using TopHat for RNAseq data analysis I'm trying to align fastq files that generated from wheat (Triticum aestivum) samples but unfortunately it is not listed as a choice in "reference genome" select panel. So dose any one has a solution to overcome this step? Thanks in advance
Hello, are you on your own local instance ? In this case, you need to use the data manager to create genome references that will be used by Tophat. The data manager of bowtie2 allow you to make the genome available for TopHat. Hope this will help you.
Hello Christophe, many thanks for you but i'm using the public server
You can check the Use a built in reference genome or own from your history and set it to Use a genome from history. There you have to select the corresponding FASTA file of the Triticum aestivum reference genome, and then tophat will first index the genome and then run Tophat's alignment itself. Because of the extra step it's probably a bit slower.
Using a Custom reference genome is the correct choice for now. How-to details: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support#Custom_reference_genome
The wheat genome is on our list of genomes to consider adding the future. Track progress here: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1470
Many thanks for you Jennifer but unfortunately after i uploaded my genome i faced another error which is Hello I'm which is Fatal error: Tool execution failed Building a LARGE index
