I'm using IGV v2.3.93. I've created a genome from a .fasta file. I can see mapped reads etc and everything seem to be Ok, but when I trying to use the BLAT tool I keep getting the following error

Cannot determine species name for genome: 160509_Chinese_Spring_v0.4_pseudomolecules_parts.fasta

Any help would be most appreciated

Thanks

Brett

The blat server used by default is at UCSC, it works for genomes they host.  For a custom genome you would have to run your own server and configure IGV to use it.   See http://software.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/BLAT  and http://software.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/Preferences#Advanced

Are you able to run blat from the command line for your fasta?
