How to upload a custom genome build at Galaxy

Question

[vidar.blikstad]

Hi I have created a new “custom build” at Galaxy from a fasta file, formatting it according to the given instructions, besides giving it a “name” and “key”. It appear in the “Current Custom Builds” window in my “Users” folder at Galaxy. In order to use the Extract Genomic DNA tool at Galaxy, I first loaded the dataset (custom build) onto the "Using reference genom” tool, but when loading the dataset from the scroll down menu, I got the message “Unavailable” Any suggestions what to do?

1. You want to post this on the Galaxy support site rather than here, see https://help.galaxyproject.org/
2. Choose "from history" rather than locally cached, since I think only administrators can actually add custom genomes to that list.
