Welcome, @Stephanie_Dv

You can use the **Custom Reference Genome** function for your genome. This will work just like native server index that happens to be available.

We had another question about this today where I provided all the details, plus a fresh example of the data preparation steps. This should work for you, too!

Please see → [Inquiry about lettuce genome](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/inquiry-about-lettuce-genome/13608)

Other similar topics can be found with the tag #custom-genome

Hope this helps! 🙂
