New <version_string> tag in tool XML
by Peter Cock 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Hi all, This new feature looks very exciting for tracking reproducibility - now in theory both the tool wrapper version (explicit in the XML) and any underlying tool version will both be recorded: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/changeset/84b20f29dfdf I have updated the NCBI BLAST+ wrappers to use the new feature, please merge/transplant this branch/commit: https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/src/blast_2011_07_07 https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/changeset/11f425f4e137 I hope the new tool version string will get its own field in the database soon (and be viewable via the web interface). Note that string may well be multi-line, e.g. $ blastp -version blastp: 2.2.25+ Package: blast 2.2.25, build Apr 6 2011 13:59:28 Unless that is you go for more fragile solutions like these to ensure a single line: $ samtools 2>&1 | grep -i "^Version" Version: 0.1.16 (r963:234) $ bwa 2>&1 | grep -i "^Version" Version: 0.5.9-r16 Thanks, Peter P.S. I would say the name <version_string> is a bit confusing, I'd have picked <version_cmd> or <version_command> instead.

error showing errors
by Assaf Gordon 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi, I've encountered a strange error when trying to view a failed job/dataset. I'm using the latest stable revision ( june 23rd, 720455407d1c ). A user executed a job and it failed (bad parameters, so no problem here). The program (bowtie) failed, returned information in STDERR. The "peek" field in the "history_dataset_association" table contains the STDERR message from bowtie (can be seen in the red rectangle in the history pane). So far, so good. But: 1. when the user clicked on the green "bug" icon, the following python exception occured: ========== URL: http://genomics.cshl.edu/galaxy/dataset/errors File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/WebError-0.8a-py2.6.egg/weberror/evalexception/middleware.py', line 364 in respond app_iter = self.application(environ, detect_start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/debug/prints.py', line 98 in __call__ environ, self.app) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/wsgilib.py', line 539 in intercept_output app_iter = application(environ, replacement_start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/recursive.py', line 80 in __call__ return self.application(environ, start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/lib/galaxy/web/framework/middleware/remoteuser.py', line 112 in __call__ return self.app( environ, start_response ) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/httpexceptions.py', line 632 in __call__ return self.application(environ, start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/lib/galaxy/web/framework/base.py', line 145 in __call__ body = method( trans, **kwargs ) TypeError: errors() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given) ========== I guess this is because the "ID=XXXX" CGI parameter is missing from the URL. It happened couple of times (using Chrome), then never happened again. 2. The user shares the history with me (for me to debug it). Cloning the history isn't useful (because the job information like STDERR and STDOUT is lost). When viewing the shared history (without cloning), the "bug" icon has the following URL: http://genomics.cshl.edu/galaxy/dataset/errors?id=2218&use_panels=True and gives the following exception: === URL: http://genomics.cshl.edu/galaxy/dataset/errors?id=2218&use_panels=True File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/WebError-0.8a-py2.6.egg/weberror/evalexception/middleware.py', line 364 in respond app_iter = self.application(environ, detect_start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/debug/prints.py', line 98 in __call__ environ, self.app) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/wsgilib.py', line 539 in intercept_output app_iter = application(environ, replacement_start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/recursive.py', line 80 in __call__ return self.application(environ, start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/lib/galaxy/web/framework/middleware/remoteuser.py', line 112 in __call__ return self.app( environ, start_response ) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/eggs/Paste-1.6-py2.6.egg/paste/httpexceptions.py', line 632 in __call__ return self.application(environ, start_response) File '/localdata1/galaxy/galaxy_prod/lib/galaxy/web/framework/base.py', line 145 in __call__ body = method( trans, **kwargs ) TypeError: errors() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_panels' === regards, -gordon

Re: [galaxy-dev] How to set java heap size in Galaxy?

Hi Roman, Thanks for your explanation. I'm sorry for this late reply. I think the problem is on my app. I'll further check that.

Message-ID: <4E0C71B4.2010308(a)nopcode.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello Liu, I'm keeping our mail thread in the mailing list, as advised by its guidelines on the footer of each mail. Now, galaxy runs on top of paster, a minimal python webserver, but it has nothing to do with Java, looks like your out of memory error comes from your app then. Have you tried the suggested settings from Marco ? Namely: java -Xmx512m I bet there's an environment variable or config setting for Tomcat too if you're unsure about where your jar's are called. Hope that helps !

From NCBI SRA to UCSC viewer pipeline.
by colin molter 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi all, i am trying to use a local instance of my galaxy to pre-format data stored at sra-ncbi. Does anyone has a working pipeline that (s)he could share. Here is the pipeline I am using, with some questions. 1/ download sra files to my server. 2/ transform them in fastq using the sra toolbox. 3/ upload them in galaxy, by using the 'add to data library' 4/ use the fastq groomer to enable to use the fast q in galaxy. Note: i guess that the data at sra are already in the fastq sanger format. So it could be nice to be able to skip that point (it took 10 hours to groom a fastq of 25Gb). 5/ MAP with Bowtie --> fastq to SAM 6/ filter SAM 7/ SAM to BAM problems: * sra data i got are RNAseq. I heard that bowtie is not good because can't deal with the splicing (so bowtie is ok for genome but not for RNAseq) ==> what is the best way to align RNAseq? Tophat? The problem is that i heard that if tophat can deal with gaps, it looses information about deletions. Someone told me that it could be better to use BWA and then to add a further step to deal with the splicing and the gaps. Any information? * to see my data in the IGV, an index (BAI) should be created. Normally, IGV could create it itself, but it didn't work. I heard that data should be ordered. The SAM i got from Bowtie is ordered by name and it should be ordered by chromosom and position. Is it right? In that case i could use the sort tool of galaxy and apply it on the SAM before to transform it in a BAM. Is it right? any other/related hints. Is there not a simple tutorial/screencast about this process that i guess most of the galaxy users have already did? thx colin -- Colin Molter University of Brussels - InSilico Team - http://insilico.ulb.ac.be/

suggestions for the SAM-to-BAM tool
by Assaf Gordon 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi, Couple of things that can be slightly improved in the SAM-to-BAM tool: 1. "Reference list" is not informative (it's the technical way to say: "list of chromosomes and their sizes based on a FASTA file"). Users do not generally know what "reference list" is. 2. The "Locally Cached" option is not informative (I had to look in the source code to understand what it means). What it should say is something like: "Get list of chromosomes/sizes based on the dataset's organism/database" (could be shorter, but should be friendly enough). 3. There's no option of having the chromosome list in the SAM file header. Some SAM files will contain the header (can even be done in the standard bowtie tool wrapper) - saves the need to specify where to get the "reference list" from. 4. Autodetection in the "set-metadata" step will go a long way here: if the SAM file already have a header, then no need to even ask about it. If it doesn't have a header but have a DBKEY, then we're still OK. If no DBKEY and no header, then complain or ask for a FASTA file from current history. (I realize the implementing this feature is hard and annoying, I don't imply that it's easy to do, just that it's needed). 5. Inside the python script (sam_to_bam.py) there's a comment that says: "for some reason the samtools view command gzips the resulting bam file without warning" . Not sure why one cares about that, but "samtools view -u" will output an uncompressed BAM file. 6. samtools support piping, so a lot of I/O (and some time) can be spared by piping the two commands together: samtools view -u -b -S "INPUT.SAM" | samtools sort - OUTPUT Instead of running two commands and generating a temporary unsorted BAM file. -gordon

rgWebLogo3 with Probabilities instead of Entropy
by Assaf Gordon 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hello Ross and Galaxy team, May I suggest this small patch, that enables WebLogo to plot either Entropy bits (the current default) or just nucleotides probabilities ? It uses the standard "-U" parameter of "weblogo3". -gordon
