Blast+: new feature filter/mask... by taxid before job in one task
by Berner, Thomas 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Hi guys, We recently installed NCBI BLAST + to our local Galaxy instance and now we need to provide the possibility to filter/mask ... by taxon id (taxid) using the command line option (-window_masker_taxid) of BLAST (cf. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1763/) before the job will be performed in one task. However searching in the documentation and the mailing list, I did not find anything about this. So it would be great to provide the possibility to subselect by taxid (e.g. NCBI BLAST server http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) by changing the BLAST integration. We believe this could be of common interest. It would be great if anybody could comment on this. Thanks a lot, Thomas

Galaxy Tool Shed packages for Biopython
by Peter Cock 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hi all, I've send this to both the Galaxy and Biopython developers lists, and hope this will make sense to both groups. If you've not heard of Galaxy, start here: http://galaxyproject.org - while the easy to guess Biopython website is at http://biopython.org Brad Chapman and I are both Biopython core developers, and are also both on the "IUC" Galaxy Tool Shed committee because we've been quite involved in wrapping and writing tools for use on Galaxy. Fellow committee member Björn Grüning has done a lot of the hands on work defining package definitions for dependencies within the Galaxy Tool Shed ecosystem - including defining them for Biopython, NumPy, SciPy, MatPlotLib, etc. We're very grateful for his hard work - most of which is now available under the IUC group account: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/ http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/ The Biopython packages, however, are under a dedicated "biopython" account on the Galaxy Tool Shed to which currently Bjoern, Brad and I have access to: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/biopython/ http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/biopython/ This packaging work was initially tracked in Bjoern's own GitHub repository, https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/ We (me, Brad and Bjoern) agreed that a Biopython owned repository would be more sensible in the long term, so I have created this and ported Bjoern's commits to it: https://github.com/biopython/galaxy_packages Currently the "Galaxy packagers" team on GitHub which has read and write access to this new repository is just me, Brad and Bjoern. Regards, Peter

shed tool dependencies
by Geert Vandeweyer 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi, Is there a default notation to specify perl modules (threading modules) in a tool configuration or in a submission to the toolshed? I've got some tools to share that make extensive use of these modules, and they are not default in a perl distribution. Hence, I'd like to inform the users that they need to install these modules (or that they get installed by the the toolshed using cpan ?)

A new tool_data_table_conf.xml created under tool-data directory
by Derrick Lin 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi guys, After installing the BWA from the Tools Shed, I find there is a new tool_data_table_conf.xml got created under tool-data directory. The file contains the entries of BWA's loc files. I believe the installed BWA still relies on the tool_data_table_conf.xml under galaxy root dir. Anyone can clarify what the one under tool-data dir is for? Regards, Derrick

trackster error for viewing rat data (rn5)

repository metadata reset not always working
by Lukasse, Pieter 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hi Greg, I found an issue in Toolshed, not sure if it has been reported before. Steps: 1- Make a repository and add a tool .xml and a README file 2- Reset metadata and check if all information appears in the toolshed UI 3- Now delete the README file from the hg repository 4- Commit 5- (not sure whether I did this step) reset metadata 6- Now add the README file back but with different contents. Commit, reset metadata 7- In the toolshed UI you will see that the OLD REAME contents are displayed. This is just one example...I have the feeling it is not restricted to the README files of course...so it can be quite a serious issue.

Cloud Launch - Where is /mnt/galaxyData
by greg 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi guys, I just launched an instance from https://usegalaxy.org/cloudlaunch and chose "data cluster" when prompted. Everything seems to have gone ok, but when I ssh in, I don't see /mnt/galaxyData Background: Basically we have a bioinformatics tool that needs SGE to run. So I want to install it on a galaxy cloud instance and then provide the share string to other researchers. I did this successfully a year or two ago by installing it to /mnt/galaxyData. Thanks, Greg

Is there a way yet to more easily determine name of inputs for renaming in workflows
by Thon deBoer 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi, In order to make Galaxy workflows even more useful, it is going to be important for data files to be renamed in a workflow. I know we can use the "#{input1 | base name}-BWA.sam" trick which is useful IF you know what the actual parameter name is in the XML file. There was some discussions some years ago (http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2012-September/011288.html) but it is is now very time consuming to figure out from the XML file what the name of the input parameter is you would like to use (and it is often very tricky, due to the fact that the name of the actual input parameter may actually change based on some selection in the UI…. I often had to resort to actually chaining the XML file to make the output something like: <data format="sam" name="output" label="#echo os.path.splitext ( str ( $paired.input1.name ).replace ( '_R1' , '' )) [ 0 ]#-bwa_#echo str ( $paired.sPaired ) #.sam”> But that is time consuming and does no longer work with the toolshed since an update of a tool is merely a brute force replacement of the previous version, no longer allowing me to have to change it once and let the updates work with on the changed version as was working brilliantly before all tools were moved out of the main branch and into the toolshed)… So, are there any plans to at least expose the Inputs (or the XML) during the workflow editing or something similar? Now I have to dig up the XML file every time I use a new tool, making the creation of workflow a tedious task...

Uploading gzipped fastq files through the API
by dsobral＠igc.gulbenkian.pt 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hello, I have been using the galaxy API to upload files into a library (using a local folder for library import) and running a workflow into a history. I have been following the example scripts that come with galaxy. When I upload a gzipped fastq file, in autodetection mode (linking the file and not copying, to be faster), the file is not detected as fastq. Even if I explicitly say that it is a fastq, the file is uploaded as a fastq but with its contents gzipped (so downstream analysis fail). Nonetheless, if I do this manually through the interface, the file is unzipped correctly. Any idea how can I upload the gzipped fastq through the API so that it can be used properly? Thank you. ===================================== Daniel Sobral Next Generation Sequencing Data Analyst IGC - Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencias e-mail dsobral(a)igc.gulbenkian.pt =====================================
