Error using Intersect the intervals of two datasets (Galaxy Version 1.0.0) tool

How to fix this? I was following the Introduction to Genomics and Galaxy tutorial and got stuck on the Check for overlaps part because of the error below. Here’s a copy of my history: https://usegalaxy.org/api/short_term_storage/56bd3aea-19b2-4dad-b836-e178793b4a91

Uncaught exception in exposed API method:

The server could not complete this request. Please verify your parameter settings, retry submission and contact the Galaxy Team if this error persists. A transcript of the submitted data is shown below.

Hi,

seems the tool is currently broken on usegalaxy.org. You can use the (slightly more complicated) tool bedtools Intersect intervals instead, with the following non-default options:

”What should be written to the output file?”: Write the original entry in A for each overlap (-wa)

”Write the original A entry _once_ if _any_ overlaps found in B.”: Yes

If you are configuring things correctly, then, for the first run of the tool, you should get 3472 regions in the output dataset.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Wolfgang
