Mpileup with vcf output? How to change galaxy to older version?

usegalaxy.org support

Hello,

The “mpileup” tool that gives an output file in vcf format is not available in usegallaxy.org. However I read a post on biostar (https://biostar.usegalaxy.org/p/29664/) stating that previous versions had it and that usegalaxy.org.au has it still now. I tried to follow the instructions to be able to set up the older version in order to be able to use it in usegalaxy.org, but I was unable to find the “tool form” and the “Versions” menu to switch to version 2.1.3 of the tool. Would you please elaborate more, including maybe print screen photos, so I can actually go on with the version switching?

There was also the suggestion to use VarScan instead but that option does not allow me to set a minimum quality score per base, and I was unable to find the “behind the scenes” settings this algorithm uses to check if the default settings suit my needs.

I also tried to share my history from usegalaxy.org to usegalaxy.org.au and kept on getting errors. Is it possible to share the history between 2 different galaxy servers? If so, how?

I appreciate any help on this. I am new to NGS data, and I find commands very difficult, so given that Galaxy is very user friendly, I can only continue my analyses using it.

For history download/upload/transfer help, please see this recent Q&A: transfer history from my account on one Galaxy server to another Galaxy server

And this screenshot shows how to search for the Mpileup-related tools available at Galaxy Main (https://usegalaxy.org) and where the versions menu is located (same placement on all tool forms):

Thanks @jennaj!

I was able to switch to 2.1.3 however it was still not usefull due to the maximum read depth that it allows (around a 1000, and I needed aroun 1 million).
