HI, I have run the mpileup (process is completed and successful), and was trying to analyse the pile up data using Varscan, but why i didnt see any pileup dataset for me to choose in Varscan analysis tool?

Did you make sure that you generated a pileup dataset? The default is VCF.

Yes bryantl and thanks for your reply.

It generated two files, one is vcf , another is log file (both shown in green). I can view the vcf file in the galaxy. But when I proceed to use Varscan, there is no option for me to pick this vcf file.. I am puzzled.

A pileup dataset and a VCF are two different file types. Varscan is acutally using the pileup dataset to produce a VCF, so you may want to look at the VCF mpileup generated to determine if you need Varscan at all. If you want to use Varscan, you can get a pileup dataset from mpileup by selecting "Do not perform genotype liklihood computation" in the Genotype Likelihood Computation dropdown menu.
