Hi all, I am trying to deploy Galaxy in my local server with some modifications. But when I change the order of <section> inside <toolbox> in "*tool_conf.xml *" file , it's NOT taking effect. Should I modify some other files to change the order of display in the left pane?? Thanks, VJ.

How to create BAM indices on cluster upon upload
by Anthonius deBoer 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi, I am uploading a lot of data to our galaxy system, and it seems that the index creation is always happening on the server instance of the galaxy server and NOT on the cluster. This seems to be particularly true for BAM files, where the index creation is being done on the galaxy server and it is done SERIALLY at that....This means that uploading 100s of BAM files can sometimes take hour upon hours... I have a cluster with 500 cores so I was wondering how I can get GALAXY to create these indices on the cluster in a parallel fashion, in order to speed up the process.... It seems that the UPLOAD process IS kicked off on the server, but then the index creation for BAM files is done afterwards on the galaxy server itself... Any help would be welcome... Thon

Cloudman / galaxyIndicies
by Rob Leclerc 21 May '13

21 May '13

We'd like to trim the the galaxyIndicies/genome directory to human and blastdb. As we may have several CM instances, we would like to share this filesystem across all instances. I would like to simply copy these data to a new volume and mount this filesystem with all our CM instances. Do I just need to rename specified filesystem in pd.yaml to ourGalaxyIndicies and then mount our CMs to /mnt/ourGalaxyIndicies/, or are their other locations I need to modify as well? Are the size and snap_id required? Cheers!

Cloudman - missing security rules in wiki page
by Joachim Jacob | VIB | 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi all, I have tried to fire up an Cloud instance of Galaxy following the wiki page: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/CloudMan However, two attempts failed (Cloudman interface did not come up - I could SSH into the machine). Next, I have tried the CloudLaunch interface (added the link to the wiki page), and tried that way. It succeeded. It seems that the Security group settings differ between what CloudLaunch sets, and the instructions written on the wiki page. In wiki: Ports Protocol Source GalaxyWeb 0-65535 tcp sg-1b495b72 20-21 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 22 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 80 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 30000-30100 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 42284 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 Set by CloudLaunch: Ports Protocol Source CloudMan 1-65535 tcp sg-61ba790a 1-65535 udp sg-61ba790a -1 icmp sg-61ba790a 20-21 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 22 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 80 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 30000-30100 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 42284 tcp 0.0.0.0/0 Since I did not test manually launching the cloud instance with these settings, I post them here. If anybody has tested these settings, perhaps the wiki page can be updated?

how to set GridEngine parameters for tools
by Andreas Kuntzagk 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi, I recently updated our local galaxy instance first time after a few month. Afterwards I noticed that the way to setup job runners has changed from single lines to an extra XML-file. I now started to write a job_conf.xml but I don't understand where I put the parameters for GridEngine. I already read http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Jobs but seem to have missed this info. For example in the old style I have lines like velveth = drmaa://-l h_vmem=25G/ In the new style I would write " ... <destinations> <destination id="cluster" runner="drmaa"/> </destinations> <tools> <tool id="velveth" destination="cluster"/> </tools> ... " But where do I put the "-l h_vmem"? regards, Andreas -- Andreas Kuntzagk SystemAdministrator Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology at the Max-Delbrueck-Center for Molecular Medicine Robert-Roessle-Str. 10, 13125 Berlin, Germany http://www.mdc-berlin.de/en/bimsb/BIMSB_groups/Dieterich

Tophat problem
by Zain A Alvi 20 May '13

20 May '13

Dear Sir or Madam, I hope this reaches you well. Lately, I have been trying to use tophat and then use bowtie on Galaxy project to create an aligned BAM file. The original data came from a SRA file that I have acquired from the Japanese DNA Databank. This SRA was then converted to FASTQ using the tools available on Galaxy project. Now when I go under Tophat on Galaxy Project, I am unable to select the converted RNA-Seq FASTQ file. I was wondering, is there a specific format for the file to be in. Currently it is just a *.fastq file. I am confused as to why I am not being able to select the FASTQ file. Also if there is a guide on how to use Galaxy Project to create an aligned BAM file and then check for expression through Cufflinks package. I would really appreciate it. Sincerely, Zain

Hello all, Early registration <http://bit.ly/GCC2013Reg> for the 2013 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2013) <http://bit.ly/gcc2013> ends this Friday, 24 May. Early registration saves *up to 75% off regular registration costs*, and is downright affordable, with combined registration (Training Day<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/TrainingDay> + main meeting <http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Program>) starting at ~ €95 for post-docs and students. Registering early also assures you a spot in the Training Day workshops you want to attend. Once a Training Day session becomes full, it will be closed to new registrations. GCC2013 <http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013> is an opportunity to participate in two full days of presentations, discussions, poster sessions, keynote, and lightning talks, all about high-throughput biology and the tools that support it. The conference also includes a Training Day<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/TrainingDay> with in-depth topic coverage of twelve different topics in 15 sessions across 5 tracks. An early program is available<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Program> featuring 25 oral presentations, lightning talks and poster sessions, and the just added Birds-of-a-Feather <http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/BoF> gatherings. If you are a biologist or bioinformatician performing or enabling high-throughput biological research, then this conference is for you. Thanks, GCC2013 Organizing Committee<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Organizers> PS: And please help get the word out<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Promotion> ! -- http://galaxyproject.org/GCC2013 http://galaxyproject.org/ http://getgalaxy.org/ http://usegalaxy.org/ http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/

Hi, The main page (analyze data) keeps coming back with a message saying "error getting history updates from the server: bad gateway" and is not performing any jobs. It has been doing it since this morning my time (so about 5 hours).
