Hi @Huseyin_OZKAN

You can load up the reference genome and reference annotation for any species and use those with any with every tool.

- The fasta is a **Custom Reference Genome** [FAQ: How to use Custom Reference Genomes?](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/reference_genomes_custom_genomes.html)
- and the database you create for it is a **Custom Build** [FAQ: Adding a custom database/build (dbkey)](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/analysis_add_custom_build.html)

Instructions are in several posts with the tags #custom-genome and #custom-build

This recent QA is an example of the data retrieval and preparation steps → [Inquiry about lettuce genome - #2 by jennaj](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/inquiry-about-lettuce-genome/13608/2)

Hope this helps! 🧑‍🔬
