Is it possible to extract genomic coordinates If I have gene accession ID Chr stat and end position. Any pointer will be helpful. Thanks.

export to local file system
by James Lindsay 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to export a dataset to the file system? Basically I think it would be advantageous if someone could copy a dataset to an "export" folder, with appropriate naming and file extensions, they could then FTP this data away or work with it locally? Thanks, James

swap issue
by Isabelle Phan 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello, I am running galaxy, using a postgres backend. The galaxy server systematically gets killed whenever I try uploading a bam file. The samtools process is still running. This is the end of the log: 2010-08-26 18:08:11,371 INFO sqlalchemy.engine.threadlocal.TLEngine.0x...4610 {'param_1': 8} sqlalchemy.engine.threadlocal.TLEngine.0x...4610 INFO 2010-08-26 18:08:11,371 {'param_1': 8} 2010-08-26 18:08:11,378 INFO sqlalchemy.pool.QueuePool.0x...4ed0 Connection <connection object at 0x567bf30; dsn: 'dbname=galaxy host=/var closed: 0> being returned to pool sqlalchemy.pool.QueuePool.0x...4ed0 INFO 2010-08-26 18:08:11,378 Connection <connection object at 0x567bf30; dsn: 'dbname=galaxy host=/var closed: 0> being returned to pool 10.1.20.44 - - [26/Aug/2010:18:08:06 -0700] "POST /root/history_item_updates HTTP/1.1" 200 - "http://galaxy:8080/history" "Mozilla/5.0 (X1 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8" Killed I have the following options set in universe_wsgi.ini: database_engine_option_server_side_cursors = True database_engine_option_strategy = threadlocal It seems to be running out of swap. I monitored memory usage with 'top' and galaxy died when available swap hit 0k free. I am not superuser on the machine where galaxy is running and I have no other server available. Is there something I could do to prevent galaxy from dying? Thanks, Isabelle -- Isabelle Phan, DPhil Seattle Biomedical Research Institute +1(206)256 7113

Galaxy workflow with variable inputs
by Dave Walton 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

I'm curious if there is a way to create a workflow as follows (or if anyone else thinks this is a good idea, or for that matter has a good suggestion of another solution): 1) User selects N groomed fastq files and puts them in a history 2) User selects a workflow that allows them to select the N files, and then passes each of them to a two step process that first runs them through tophat, and the resulting bam file through cufflinks. 3) At the other end of the workflow would be a merge module that would take one of the 3 output files from cufflinks from each run, and does some sort of aggregation or transformation step on all the resulting data. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

functional and acceptance tests
by Ryan Golhar 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Are there any automated functional and/or acceptance tests that can be run on a locally installed Galaxy instance? I recently installed Galaxy here. A few people in our group have encountered problems that have taken me a bit of time to track down. Having some form of automated tests would allow me to feel confident that most of Galaxy is set up right, and track down anything I might have missed. -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email communication may contain private, confidential, or legally privileged information intended for the sole use of the designated and/or duly authorized recipient(s).

Galaxy Local Installation Issue
by blake haas 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Dear Galaxy, I had galaxy installed locally, and when I try running tophat, there is no reference genome to select, and it says "If your genome of interest is not listed, contact the Galaxy team"(below), I was wondering how I would go about solving this issue. Best, Blake Haas Select a reference genome: If your genome of interest is not listed, contact the Galaxy team

Galaxy prone to XSS and HTML injection attacks
by Paul, Rohit (NIH/NCI) [C] 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

We recently ran a Nessus vulnerability scan against our server that hosts a local installation of Galaxy. The scan report showed that the web application is vulnerable to XSS and HTML injection attacks. In order to determine if/when these vulnerabilities will be fixed, where should I either send or post the scan results? -Rohit

Re: [galaxy-dev] [galaxy-user] postgres version 9.0.3
by Dannon Baker 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Martin, There were a few issues with postgres 9 that were fixed in changeset 5074, what revision is your galaxy instance running? If you are running something newer than that, could you explain more explicitly the steps to reproduce the server error? Also, I've moved the thread to galaxy-dev since this involves a local instance. -Dannon On Mar 19, 2011, at 4:45 AM, Martin Senger wrote: > Hi, > > Our system changed from postgres 8.3 to postgres 9.0.3 - and since I am getting Server error on Galaxy.

Workshop on Comparative Genomics, North America 2011
by Dave Clements 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hello all, Galaxy has been a part of the Workshop on Comparative Genomics held in the Czech Republic for the past several years. This two week workshop is now being offered in North America for the first time, and Galaxy will be participating again: Workshop on Comparative Genomics, North America 2011 Fort Collins, Colorado, United States July 10-22 http://www.molecularevolution.org/workshops/WCG The workshop focuses on comparative genomics using next generation sequencing data. Software packages including ABySS, Bowtie, Velvet, BioPerl, Scripture, GMOD, GBrowse_syn, PyCogent and QIME will be covered. Dan Blankenberg of the Galaxy team will teach the Galaxy sessions. There is also a Workshop on Molecular Evolution being offered immediately after the Comparative Genomics workshop. PDFs describing both events are attached. Applications for both workshops are due May 15. Thanks, Dave C -- http://galaxy.psu.edu/gcc2011/ http://getgalaxy.org http://usegalaxy.org/
