Hello Jen,
Apologies for the delay in responding, I got side-tracked with other projects. Now back to
galaxy!
Is metadata being set externally?
I have it commented out in universe_wsgi.ini:
#set_metadata_externally = False
1 - If you could load some sample input files into a history on
Galaxy
main and share the link, that would be helpful. Just a sample of
sequences that are representative of the entire dataset.
http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/iphan/h/iphan-test
This contains the first 100 fastq sequences of the raw file (before grooming).
2 - Note the specific filter options used in the fastq_filter
tool.
We can scale the data up, run with your filters, and try to see what is
causing the problem.
Analysis steps:
- groom with fastq_groomer (default options)
- fastq_filter: trim 3 bases from 5'end, set minimum quality to 30
1M sequences run fine, 15M sequences crash the fastq_filter as described below.
The FASTX tools work, but requires to run 2 different tools (i.e. produces 1 more
intermediary file), which is not scaling up with the number and size of files we are
dealing with. I'd rather use fastq_filter, if possible.
We are using a local install of Galaxy for exploratory analysis of NGS data and so far are
very happy with it, kudos to your team.
