Hi Jen, I have the same question. I want to use the Bowtie2 - map reads against reference genome (Galaxy Version 2.3.4.2) in Galaxy and in the list to select the reference genome Medicago truncatula is not in the list. It is gonna be available in the future? Thank you!
Hi,
For now, use the genome as a Custom genome. The link above redirects to the updated Galaxy Hub FAQ page. The other FAQ is important to review if you are including reference annotation in your analysis. https://galaxyproject.org/support/
- Preparing and using a Custom Reference Genome or Build https://galaxyproject.org/learn/custom-genomes/
- Mismatched Chromosome identifiers (and how to avoid them) https://galaxyproject.org/support/chrom-identifiers/
We are working to incorporate more plant genomes, some in collaboration with other community groups. This is a large project that needed some development work to support it first and that is mostly done now. I added your genome to the tracking ticket we keep for requests here: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1470#issuecomment-441831629
Should ELIXER not include it indexed already (where we plan to source most plant genomes as they have been already been curated and paired with reference annotation very nicely), we might request that they add it, or go ahead and index it independently. I included that info the ticket as a to-do item.
If you have the NCBI accession/version information, please post that back, so we can be sure match up the right data, and I'll add it to the Github ticket. Or you can add it back there as another comment if you want. Please be as specific as possible about the desired content (mito and chroro are sometimes in a different record from the base chromosomes).
Thanks! Jen
