Hi @Ouns87

The [UseGalaxy.eu](http://UseGalaxy.eu) may have this genome indexed already, so check there first.

Or, the fastest way to incorporate this reference genome at the AU or ORG servers is to use it as a custom reference genome. That can be promoted to a custom build to create a custom database “metadata” key that can be assigned to datasets as needed. The input is a simple fasta file. Make sure to get the matching reference annotation at the same time to avoid problems later on.

This prior Q&A has links to the “how-to”. You can click on the tags to find more examples in different contexts. [Custom genome + custom build: How to use a genome that is not natively indexed at the server you are working at - #2 by jennaj](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/custom-genome-custom-build-how-to-use-a-genome-that-is-not-natively-indexed-at-the-server-you-are-working-at/10082/2)

The AU server admins can also comment, but as far as I know, new reference genomes will be indexed sometime later this year for all three UseGalaxy.\* servers. ping @igor
