Phenotype Association Tools in Galaxy

Uploading a data file

There are two ways to upload large files to Galaxy: one is to use FTP, and the other is to place the file in a web-accessible location and give Galaxy the URL. For this example we will use the URL method. In the Tools panel on the left, click on the section called Get Data to open it, then click on the Upload File tool (indicated by a red arrow in the screenshot below). The input form for the selected tool will appear in the center panel, along with other information about the tool.

Type or paste the file's URL in the large text box:

  http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab/docs/galaxy_phen_assoc/tutorial/test.masterVar.gz

Also be sure to choose the corresponding genome assembly in the Genome box. Typing a search term in the select box (e.g. "hg19") will limit the list of choices to items containing the specified text. Then click Execute (green arrow) to upload the dataset into your history. Compressed files are unpacked automatically.
