Dada2: assignTaxonomy and addSpecies

Please update the SILVA 138 dataset for me on the galaxy.org server.
Thank you.

Hi @Oanh_Ki_u

This is a great request and it does seem that these could use an update.

I’ve opened an issue ticket here for the IUC to process the request.This will likely take some time, but let’s see what they report back as comments on the ticket.

Meanwhile, you don’t have to wait! Instead of using a built-in index, you can load up the database fasta into your history, then select it on the tool form.

The data source would be from here:

Steps

  1. You can copy the URL for the file you want and paste it into the Upload tool using all defaults. The file should have the datatype format of fasta.gz automatically assigned once fully loaded.
  2. Select that new dataset from the history on the dada2: assignTaxonomy and addSpecies tool form.

Hope this helps but please let us know if you have any questions! :slight_smile:
