Hello,

I have a research paper due tomorrow and my lecturer has been completely unavailable by email all weekend.

I have been attempting to turn some data from tabular to interval datasets, however, it keeps getting stuck in the orange loading phase for over 2 hours.

I don’t know what to do or how to fix this, can anybody help?

I have attached a link to the tutorial  
[https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/transcriptomics/tutorials/differential-isoform-expression/tutorial.html](https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftraining.galaxyproject.org%2Ftraining-material%2Ftopics%2Ftranscriptomics%2Ftutorials%2Fdifferential-isoform-expression%2Ftutorial.html&data=05%7C02%7Ch.dale521%40canterbury.ac.uk%7C67fa1bc5247f4c39af4808dd8995462b%7C0320b2da22dd4dab8c216e644ba14f13%7C0%7C0%7C638817996399079381%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BwDZ%2BCTty3g3UKxAgYDH7bJFJ1Zu0wJ9q8u2SMPQ8PY%3D&reserved=0)

Welcome @hope26

We can try to help you to complete the tutorial. Would you like to share back your history so we can see the step where you are stuck? How to generate and post back the share link is in the banner of this forum, also here →

We can also double check that this is working at the history where you are working. The public Galaxy server’s listed on the tutorial under **Available at these Galaxies** are usually the best choices, although it may work other places.

Then for your specific issue mentioned.

The yellow/orange dataset color indicates that a job is still processing. Depending on the tool, this can be very normal. If you are just converting the datatype, this should go quickly, but if you are executing a tool, that can run at a variable time limit, up to several days in some cases.

Let’s start there! Seeing your history would be the best way for us to help more. 🙂

Hello again @hope26

We didn’t hear back, so hopefully you have been able to work your way through the tutorial successfully!

As a small test, I ran the tutorial’s inputs through the included workflow at the [UseGalaxy.eu](http://UseGalaxy.eu) server yesterday, and that has finished successfully. Maybe this reference helps but we can also follow up with your “Hand’s On” run through.

- 🎓 **Tutorial** → [Hands-on: Genome-wide alternative splicing analysis / Genome-wide alternative splicing analysis / Transcriptomics](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/transcriptomics/tutorials/differential-isoform-expression/tutorial.html)
- **Workflow** → [Workflows / Genome-wide alternative splicing analysis / Transcriptomics](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/transcriptomics/tutorials/differential-isoform-expression/workflows/)
- **Workflow Invocation** → [https://usegalaxy.eu/workflows/invocations/1628fb3e2effc661](https://usegalaxy.eu/workflows/invocations/1628fb3e2effc661)
- **History** → [https://usegalaxy.eu/u/jenj/h/gtn-differential-isoform-expression-1](https://usegalaxy.eu/u/jenj/h/gtn-differential-isoform-expression-1)

You should be able to navigate through these to see how the data was processed, or even import a copy to explore closer. 🧑‍🔬
