Hello,

I am trying to map some Fastq with Bowtie2 and in the reference genome options I don’t get the cat genome (none of the versions). Do you know who to contact, because in that option it says “If your genome of interest is not listed, contact the Galaxy team”.

Thank you very much

Hi @Raul_Teruel_Montoya,  
in meantime you can import the cat genome from UCSC Genome Browser (Download section) and switch bowtie2 to ‘use genome from history’ or use another servers, for example, [usegalaxy.org](http://usegalaxy.org) has several cat genomes indexed for bowtie2.  
Kind regards,  
Igor
