googlebot

Hi, my paster.log is full of errors relating to a googlebot trying to access a library file. I noticed a robots.txt file in the static folder configured as such. User-agent: * Disallow: / I thought this would stop all bots accessing all files. Should this be configured differently?

Tools accessing web services
by Amelia Ireland 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Apologies in advance for the newbie question. I have a script that uses various UniProt web services. The script sends off a request to the UniProt server, waits for it to be returned, and then writes the results to a file. This works fine as a standalone script, but when plugged into Galaxy, I get this error: ⇝ KeyError: 'GALAXY_URL' URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080/tool_runner/index Does Galaxy "intervene" in the operation of all tools that access outside web services, and if so, do I need to rewrite the tool as one that acts as a data source (like the UCSC browser, biomart, etc.)? The data sources documentation did not mention whether this was necessary or not.

How and where to install tool dependencies
by Josh Nielsen 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hello, I have a question which I have not seen specifically addressed in the online Galaxy wiki documentation about how to integrate tools (dependencies) into Galaxy. I have implemented a locally managed instance of Galaxy that my business is using with our cluster and now have a freshly installed and configured instance of Galaxy running. It is bare-bones right now and I did not use mercurial to sync any existing files/directory structures. I have seen the page on external tool dependencies ( http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Dependencies) needed for Galaxy, but I am somewhat unsure where to place the tools to utilize them as intended (other than through trial & error). It appears that there are shell directories for the tools under ~/galaxy-dist/tools/ with basic wrapper scripts but without the corresponding executables (very few that I've noticed have the tools already in them). Is the intent to download the dependency tools and (building from source if necessary) take the binaries in those directories and copy them to their corresponding directory under ~/galaxy-dist/tools/? This seems to have worked with an error I first got when clipping a FASTQ file which reported that fastx_clipper was not a recognized command. So I downloaded the FASTX Toolkit, compiled the binaries, and copied only the binaries into the corresponding fastx tools directory. Would I do the same thing for TopHat and Cufflinks by taking all their binaries (combined) and copying them into ~/galaxy-dist/tools/ngs_rna/? Even if that is the case though, I have occasionally gotten errors about tools missing in completely different directories. One was for the FASTQ Groomer. One user saw this error in their browser (which for now is the only way I know to figure out where tools are *expected* to be): *File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/tools/rgenetics/rgFastQC.py", line 141, in assert os.path.isfile(opts.executable),'##rgFastQC.py error - cannot find executable %s' % opts.executable AssertionError: ##rgFastQC.py error - cannot find executable /home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/tool-data/shared/jars/FastQC/fastqc * To fix this I downloaded the FastQC tar file from its webpage, unzipped it, and copied the fastqc binary/script to the "home/galaxy/galaxy -dist/tool-data/shared/jars/FastQC/*"* directory. I also had to mkdir FastQC/ under jars/ to place it there since it didn't already exist. Had I not been told the specific directory by the error I'm not sure how I would have intuitively known to place the binary there (unless I'm overlooking some critical documentation). And how do I know that other similar things are not missing which should be there? Can anyone shed some light on this please? Adding a brief page on the Galaxy wiki site under the Admin section about this would really help, even if it only showed an example for one or two specific tools. Thanks, Josh Nielsen

Galaxy on GPU
by Isabelle Phan 12 Dec '11

Hello, Can any applications in Galaxy use GPU hardware (e.g. for processing next gen data)?

Because MPI-type jobs are the only true beneficiaries of the cluster instances, but only a handful of bioinformatics software are actually implemented using MPI and because those instances require a different AMI, we do not currently have support for that type of instances - maybe down the line. Nonetheless, in the coming new version Galaxy Cloud (currently being tested), the application will be able to automatically scale the size of the cluster based on the current workload. -- Isabelle Phan, DPhil Seattle Biomedical Research Institute +1(206)256 7113

Divide FASTQ file into paired and unpaired reads (version 0.0.4) - naming suffix not recognized

Hi , Looks like the tool Divide FASTQ file into paired and unpaired reads is not recognizing my paired-end naming suffix @HWI-ST916:79:D04M5ACXX:1:1101:10000:100326 1:N:0:TGNCCA @HWI-ST916:79:D04M5ACXX:1:1101:10000:100326 2:N:0:TGNCCA Is there a patch for this or another tool/way I can divide this fastq file? Thanks in advance, Liisa

Dynamic Tool Parameter Lists?
by John Major 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hello Gal-Dev, I've been poking around looking for a way to define a tool and be able to define a dynamic set of values for a property dropdown. Say, I wanted to present a list of transcipt ID's in my tool page, with this list drawn from a database local to my system. Is there any mechanism to do this? thanks- john

How to pass files/data invisibly between tools?
by Steven Platt 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi, We wrap our tools in perl and ruby scripts and have them execute in a randomly named folder. Things all work well, both in & out of workflow, until I want to merge the log files of workflow components as later tools don't know where the previous were running. Ideally I'd like to run all tools in the same (randomly named) folder and write all logs to one file. The first tool can easily name & create the folder but how do I invisibly pass this filepath to subsequent tools? I've managed to write the filepath as an output file & send it to the second tool in workflow, but this appears to require a txt data parameter that is visible to the user and is auto-populated from history if the tool is used out of workflow. Plus it's not the seamless passage of data I'm looking for. I'll obviously need to build in some code to accommodate running tools out of workflow i.e. when filepath = nil, but I think that'll be the easy part. Any ideas?

Multiple file box in Galaxy XML
by Roger Ngo 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible for a user to specify the number of files to upload in Galaxy and have multiple file input boxes to upload updated on the wrapper page accordingly. A user will have from one to many files needed to be uploaded from a job. Right now I can see that galaxy does have the option for 1 file with the param "file". With an options tagset, I can have the user specify a range. The easiest solution I can think of right now is to have a 1-N option tag set and create 1-N file upload boxes corresponding to the option number. Is there a better way already built in to Galaxy to do this? Thanks!
