Welcome @bmpaddy

Thanks for asking about this! It looks like the newer release was announced a few days ago.

The index is very large and must be hosted on the Galaxy server itself.

I’ve made the request here for tracking → [Update GTDB-Tk indexes to R10-RS226 · Issue #68 · galaxyproject/idc · GitHub](https://github.com/galaxyproject/idc/issues/68)

The change will not be immediate. For now you can use R09-RS220 at the UseGalaxy servers. 🙂
