Hi,

upload your data to [usegalaxy.eu](http://usegalaxy.eu) and use this [tool](https://usegalaxy.eu/root?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/umi_tools_extract/umi_tools_extract/). Optionally, learn more about UMI processing here [https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/transcriptomics/tutorials/scrna\_preprocessing/tutorial.html](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/transcriptomics/tutorials/scrna_preprocessing/tutorial.html) and here [https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/transcriptomics/](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/transcriptomics/).

Hope that helps,  
Bjoern

What does this mean?  
The tool is here: [Galaxy](https://usegalaxy.eu/root?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/umi_tools_extract/umi_tools_extract/)

Are you sure your are on the same Galaxy server? You can find UMI tools under “FASTA/FASTQ” or simply by searching for “umi tools”. But you need to be on the correct Galaxy server.

Yes, I am using it. Right now I figured out that if use [usegalaxy.org](http://usegalaxy.org) can not find UMI tool，if use [usegalaxy.eu](http://usegalaxy.eu) can find UMI tool easily. You can check it.

@webyoung this is normal. Galaxy is framework and every server can define the set of tools to support.  
The usegalaxy.\* once will align closer in regards of tools in the near future, but do not expect that all Galaxy server have the same tools installed.

Ciao,

Now，I see. But I followed your steps on “Pre-processing of Single-Cell RNA Data”, after the step “Filtering the BAM File”, the results showed error said can not read BAM file. Actually, the BAM file is no problem, what is the reason?

Even I did BAM to SAM the file work well.

Right now, I can complete all the steps of the training “Pre-processing of Single-Cell RNA Data”, but when I try analysis my own data, there are 3 files of fastq.gz: index, R1, R2. I still do not know how to do it. And if R1 and R2 already loaded, how to them into the  
Paired Collection?How can I get my own file like the file of `celseq_barcodes.192.tabular`?

Welcome @Gargi_Mishra

Most single-cell analysis tools are not available at Galaxy Main [https://usegalaxy.org](https://usegalaxy.org). However, some, including `UMI-tools`, are hosted at Galaxy EU [https://usegalaxy.edu](https://usegalaxy.edu) and other public servers.

If interested, there are tutorials from the GTN that focus on single-cell analysis. Find these under the tutorial group “Transcriptomics”. Start with “Pre-processing of Single-Cell RNA Data” – includes `UMI-tools` and will run at [usegalaxy.eu](http://usegalaxy.eu).

> [@Troubleshooting resources for errors or unexpected results](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/troubleshooting-resources-for-errors-or-unexpected-results/42/1):
>
> [Galaxy Training Network Tutorials](https://training.galaxyproject.org): Some [GTN](https://galaxyproject.org/teach/gtn/) tutorials are appropriate for [Galaxy Main](https://usegalaxy.org) and some are not. Where you can run each is noted per tutorial – click on the _Galaxy instances_ gear icon ![galaxyserversGTN](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/galaxy/original/1X/1287f50cfcdaa1aad750fe323f96995260ac4947.png) to review the [Public Galaxy](https://galaxyproject.org/use/) server choices. If a tutorial is supported by a pre-configured [Galaxy Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/bgruening/galaxy-stable/) training image, instructions for how to get it will be listed below the tutorial listings, per category.
