Galaxy: Adding "reference genome" as parameter type of input parameters

[sveinugu]

would be extremely useful!

Starting with release 20.01 you can connect text parameters to select options, so this should be possible now.

I would say this is not done. The input needs a way to reference the genomes list, including custom builds.

As the original issue creator, I agree. You still have to know exactly what the dbkey of the genome is, which is a hassle to users. A real pulldown list of genomes, and yes, including custom builds, would really improve usability of workflows.

@mvdbeek ?

[mvdbeek]

You may not have tried this recently ?

[sveinugu]

Hehe! Nope. 2020.09?

Looks awesome!

I was going to write: "given there has not been any recent developments I am not aware of". I remember it was not implemented when this issue was closed, so I did a 2+2=5 without checking. I think I misunderstood @innovate-invent.

This doesn't work if the input is connected to a tool expecting a selection and a tool with a text input.

[mvdbeek]

It really should though, I'll check tomorrow

Hi,
I guess this is related to the genome build. Can we change this and set a .loc file?

[innovate-invent]

@mvdbeek any luck?
