hi Dan,

Thanks for your replay. I have now installed MACS 1.3.7.1, so the script macs_wrapper.py is not trying to call the correct executable.

When I try to run MACS from galaxy, I do however get what an error:

Messages from MACS:

how should I look at it?


thanks,

Hi Sergei,

The current MACS tool that comes with Galaxy uses MACS 1.3.7.1 from http://liulab.dfci.harvard.edu/MACS/Download.html.


Thanks for using Galaxy,

Dan
