Hi,

I am currently analyzing my RNA-seq using Galaxy, and noticed the new version of Aedes albopictus reference genome is not available in the option. Could you please upload/add the latest reference genome of Aedes albopictus (Genome assembly AalbF5) into the Galaxy? The details of the latest version reference genome are as in the link; [Aedes albopictus genome assembly AalbF5 - NCBI - NLM](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/genome/GCF_035046485.1/)

Thank you.

Welcome @NurulAdilah

You can load up this reference genome and the paired reference annotation to your history and use it with tools.

An example and the methods involved are in this topic. → [Built-in reference genome of domestic water buffalo - #2 by jennaj](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/built-in-reference-genome-of-domestic-water-buffalo/14336/2)

Hope this helps and let us know if you have any questions! 😃
