Hi @hcole

Hopefully we can help!

I see the **Homo Sapiens GRCh37 hg19** genome hosed in **BWA-MEM** at these two UseGalaxy servers. Are you working somewhere else? You could move your data over and work at these, too.

Am I misunderstanding something? Would you be able to explain a bit more? Thanks! 🙂
