The need for wrappers
by Timothy Wu 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi, Looking under the tools directory I realized that some tools comes with *_wrapper.py. I wonder under what circumstances is this needed? I'm trying to do a quickie for RepeatMasker. It looks to me like the tool does not allow one to specify the name of the output files. It also appears to me that tools should have an $output variable specifies within the <command> tag. So I was wondering if this is one case where a wrapper.py is needed. Thanks. Timothy

Perhaps this is a distribution issue. For those who have gotten the "Display at UCSC" link to work on a local server or workstation, what linux distribution and version did you use? Has anyone used this successfully with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1?

Re: [galaxy-dev] Some changes to tophat and cufflinks wrappers for indexing loc files
by Chorny, Ilya 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

I made some changes to the cufflinks and tophat wrapper to pull gtf files from an indexed loc file as opposed to from history. The diff's are attached. I made it an optional feature. Please let me know if this makes its way into galaxy-central.

samtools mpileup update
by David Hoover 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Is there any good reason why Galaxy can't use a more recent version of samtools? The only difference I can see is the mpileup command. The algorithm by which mpileup finds SNPs is a little different. Does anyone know if the file format has changed? The only files that need to change are sam_pileup.py and sam_pileup.xml. David Hoover Helix Systems Staff http://helix.nih.gov

Re: [galaxy-dev] Possible to browse local filesystem
by Greg Von Kuster 12 Oct '11

Allesandro, Are your users making the correct selection in the Copy data into Galaxy? select list? If they choose "Link to files without copying into Galaxy" as shown below, you should see the behavior you want. The default selection is "Copy files into Galaxy", so if they leave the default selection, copies of the files will be made.

Trasfering Galaxy workflows to other instances
by Chorny, Ilya 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Is there a way of uploading workflows by saving the workflow to a file and copying the workflow files to a directory or editing a database file to point to them. When external authentication is invoked linking to workflows does not seem to work and copy and pasting from a file is very tedious.

Specifying data types for workflow inputs
by Ann Black 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

I am developing a custom workflow in galaxy. I have 4 input files that need to be fed into various steps of the workflow. I would like to be able to specify a data type for the inputs such that the pre-populated drop downs are filtered to datasets of the appropriate type as well as being able to do some simple validation before the workflow begins. Is there someway to do this? Thanks much, Ann

strange history error

hardware for local galaxy install
by Jeremy Goecks 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

David, Please direct questions about local installations to the galaxy-dev mailing list (cc'd); there are a large number of experienced people of this list that can likely help with this and similar questions. > Just a quick question about the compute infrastructure of the setup running the public instance of Galaxy. Our Galaxy copy is on our High Performance Cluster here at X and they are currently canvassing users about the next upgrade of the HPC. This cluster serves the needs of all the university academics here and so we are sharing time with physicists, aerodynamics engineers etc. However, the HPC board of directors tell me that they see biological computing problems as the next big growth area for them - especially now we have a copy of Galaxy. What they would like to know is what kind of mix of new nodes would be most useful to us. They have about X million pounds to spend (about X million dollars) and the question as I understand it is determining the right mix of expensive high memory nodes (e.g. with 1 or 2TB RAM on board) and cheaper lower memory nodes (e.g. with 32G ram on board or less even). The problem for me is that I have no idea what to suggest (I am not that compute savvy). So any advice from your experiences (or that of the Galaxy team) would be most helpful. Your hardware will depend on what types of analyses you plan to support/run. For instance, assembly jobs (e.g. ABySS, Velvet, Trinity) require high-memory nodes, and read mapping jobs (e.g. BWA, Bowtie, Tophat) are best run on high CPU nodes. Also, creating indices (often used in visualization) such as bigWig and bigBed require large amounts of memory as well. You'll want to do some research on the tools that you plan to run most often and determine the best hardware for them. Nate Coraor's presentation at GCC 2011 has some useful information about setting up a production Galaxy as well as details about our public instance: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/GCC2011 In short, we use multiple clusters to distribute resource-intensive jobs appropriately. Also, you may want to search the galaxy-dev mailing list as there's been discussion about hardware specs for a Galaxy instance previously: http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/Galaxy-Development-f815885.html Nate and others, please feel free to chime in with additional information. Good luck, J.
