I'm reporting two problems on the most recent Galaxy (lavender background, http://g2.bx.psu.edu:8889/) (The header says "logged in as jb10(a)sanger.ac.uk) 1. Problem running overlap: When I ran overlap on the transcriptional regulation composite hits (Transcription Regulation (TR (20060206) [gencode_partitioned])) and a CpG island track, I got the following error message: An error occurred running this job: ERROR: commandline error, substituting {'input2': './database/files/dataset_265.dat', 'input1': './database/files/dataset_282.dat', 'input2_strandCol': '0', 'min': 1, 'dbkey': u'hg17', 'input2_chromCol': '1', 'out_file1': './database/ files/dataset_283.dat', 'input2_startCol': '2 ', 'input2_endCol': '3'} into galaxyOps3 $dbkey -chromCol=$input1_chromCol -startCol= $input1_startCol -stopCol=$input1_endCol -strandCol=$input1_strandCol -chromCol2=$input2_chromCol -startCol2=$input2_startCol -stopCol2= $input2_endCol $input1 $input2 -all -chrom=all -minSize=$min -bed= $out_file1 -> 'input1_chromCol' Other tracks did overlap just fine. 2. Problem with "Select lines that match an expression" I got empty files back when I tried two different things. No error was reported, but the result reports " Select on data 30 empty, format: interval, database: hg17 Info: Illegal output filename. Ross Hardison T.

proximity search
by rmorin＠bcgsc.ca 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Hi there. I am trying to find the genes that are within 10kb (in the upstream region of the gene) of a set of genomic features. The proximity search works fine for this, but what I am really interested in the actual distance between the given feature and the gene. It appears all I am getting back is the list of genes from the query. Is it possible to use Galaxy to actually get these distances at this point? Thanks. Ryan

Dear Mark, Thank you very much for your e-mail. This is exactly the kind of feedback we are looking for to make Galaxy better serve your needs. We will take a hard look at these problems. Below a quick comment on gff: > (1) First of all, I try to load a gff file - that works fine. But > the "edit > attributes" won't correctly assign the columns to the data for doing > interval stuff - I try to do an overlap, and it says something about > startcol being undefined. Currently we treat gff at simple tab delimited file as this is the easiest way to deal with its o-1 incompatibility with bed format. To use bed in interval operations use GFF-to-BED converted (test.g2.bx.psu.edu -> Convert Formats)\ Thanks, anton Anton Nekrutenko Assistant Professor Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Center for Comparative Genomics and Bioinformatics 505 Wartik Building PennState University University Park, PA 16802 814 865-4752 814 863-6699 FAX anton(a)bx.psu.edu http://www.bx.psu.edu/~anton http://g2.bx.psu.edu On Apr 11, 2006, at 7:55 PM, Mark Bieda wrote: > Hello All, > I'm a member of the ENCODE TR group and have done a fair amount of > programming. > Galaxy seems a well-designed approach to analysis. > But there are a number of problems, it seems, in my basic testing. > (1) First of all, I try to load a gff file - that works fine.

Error running Galaxy on windows XP
by Ryan Morin 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

Hello developers. I have just installed Galaxy on my Windows XP machine to try it out. I am having a problem running the server locally. I ran the galaxy.py script with no errors and I can load the page it generates in my browser. However, when I attempt to load some data from the UCSC (following the flash demo) I am not able to load the UCSC table browser. When I run the test script (base_test.py) I get the following printout (see below). I'm sure it's something simple but I don't have the expertise to try to debug this. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

Hi- I'm trying to filter the data from 3-way RP scores on the UCSC browser before importing into galaxy and I'm getting this error message from both the test browser and main browser: There has been a problem connecting to http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/ hgTables? [Errno socket error] (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution') Thanks, Laura
