bacterial genomes missing?
by Langhorst, Brad 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

It seems that the bacterial genomes that used to come from ucsc via update_ucsc.sh are now gone... Has anybody else observed this? Fixed it? Brad -- Brad Langhorst langhorst(a)neb.com<mailto:langhorst@neb.com> 978-380-7564

How to configure "Get Data | get microbial data"
by JIE CHEN 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Dear all, I have spent several days trying to make "get microbial data" to work in my local Galaxy instance, but failed. What i did is: 1. cd /galaxy-dist/tool-data/ 2. nano microbial_data 3. uncomment the lines starting with "ORG", "CHR" or "DATA" After that, i restarted Galaxy and can see the options on the web. However, it cannot work yet. I am pretty sure that is because the URLs are not properly specified and i don't have a local mirror of all the related files yet. Can anyone help and tell me where and how to download the files? And how can i continue to make it work? (In addition, i find some information under the link http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/Setting-up-microbial-data-loc-given-a-mirr…. But still cannot figure out how to do it) THANKS A LOT!!! Cheers, Tyler

Dear all, I would like to clarify whether we have understood something about the database correctly. Is is right that all calculations with galaxy are stored as a link in the database. And the data are stored somewhereelse? Is it possible to store the data only in the database? For some advice, I am very grateful.

Display galaxy variable
by Sarah Maman 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hello, In a Galaxy tool, I would like to display a pre-completed path in the xml inputbox, inside the tool.xml file. Consequently, I would like to add a variable in an <param value="" /> tag , like this : <tool id="test" name="test" version=""> <command interpreter="sh">test.sh $in $out</command> <inputs> <param name="filepath" type="text" size="100" value="/work/$out" /> </inputs> ... and in test.sh : $out is defined to be ${trans.user.username} Do you have any idea to display ${trans.user.username} variable in order to be shown in galaxy interface (gui) thanks to xml file ? I achieve to display ${trans.user.username} in /templates/root/tool_menu.mako but not in the xml file. Thanks in advance, Sarah

Tool and dynamic <options>
by Yuri D'Elia 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi everyone. I'm writing a tool that can take a parameter with a dynamic list of values. The tool XML file looks like this: <conditional ...> <param name="outer" .... type="select"> <option value="1">XYZ</option> <option value="2">ZYX</option> <option value="3">ZXY</option> </param> <when value="1"> <param name="inner" .... type="select"> ... </param> </when> </conditional> I would like to generate the inner <option> elements dynamically by calling an external utility in response to the first parameter ("outer"), or at least some piece of python code. I know I can use <options> to load this from an external file, but that's not enough. I tried to use <code>, but I'm afraid I wasn't able to generate the list of options dynamically (by using the first conditional when selected). I couldn't find a tool that uses <code> to this end. Does anybody have any suggestion? I was thinking of adding a new attribute to <options>, like <options load_from_command="....">. Would you accept such a patch to galaxy? Thanks.

Re: [galaxy-dev] [galaxy-user] Problem using Galaxy on the cloud
by Brad Chapman 08 Mar '12

Jan; No problem, sorry I don't have a nicer immediate solution for you. I appreciate the problem report and hopefully we'll figure out a clean fix for this. CloudBioLinux does have Velvet included by default, so you should be able to use it without needing to compile. Were you having trouble building, or running it? Velvet and other assemblers are memory hungry, so the issue you were seeing may be due to running out of memory. 'top' is a useful way to monitor memory usage from the console. If it is a memory issue, AWS does have some high-memory instances you could try: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ I don't have a lot of experience doing assembly so unfortunately don't have good estimates for memory usage. It might be worth asking on the Velvet mailing list if you are still running into issues. Hope this helps, Brad > Thanks Brad, > > I will see if I can do what you suggest-even if you are talking > Klingon now:) .

local performance
by Charles Gawad 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, I am new to galaxy and bioinformatics in general. I have installed galaxy (and supporting software) on my mac pro with 8 cores and 24 Gb of memory. The main issue is that it runs really slow. When I look at CPU and memory allocation to python, less than 10% of each are being used. Is there an easy fix? thanks, Chuck

refresh loc files without restart
by Bossers, Alex 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Early 2011 there was a discussion and feature request to be able to refresh loc files on a running galaxy instance. This is not only convenient for updating loc files for blast, bowtie, bwa and such, but also opens possibilities to update and dynamically populate such files to be used in other custom tools. Is there any progress on this? Or has anyone hacked the system to be able to? Like the tool_refresh option? Alex
