Hi Bjoern, Thank you for your clarifications. I have tried installing bowtie2 using both variations, once with both wrapper and dependencies and once with only wrapper (since I have dependencies installed on the system). In either case even after editing the .loc file I cannot see the indices in galaxy. I tried the same edits to .loc file with bwa and the indices show right up, but not with bowtie2 and even bowtie for that matter. I really don't know what to do about this.
