An idea for sharing tools
by James Casbon
Hi Everyone,
I have an "I want a pony" idea that I would like to kick onto the mailing list:
It would be great if there was a way for sharing tool definitions between users.
At the moment, the main repo is maintained by the galaxy team, and
that is fine and makes sense. However, I'm sure there is a lot of
duplicated work between the users when adding other tools in. For
example, there was a conversation the other day about adding in awk.
Someone had already done this, so the best idea would be if I could
pull in that definition and enable it with minimum effort. I have
already added tools (exonerate, restriction mapper, etc, etc) that may
be of use to other people. Not sure the best way to go about this,
but if my understanding of mercurial is right, we can simply offer
another repo for people to pull changes from.
If this is of interest to you, please can you reply? If we get enough
interest and preferably some support of the core team, I could set up
a free repo at, e.g., bitbucket and add users to it. Or perhaps there
is a better way (eg patches submitted to trac)? Another question is
what kind of tools would the core team accept for inclusion in the
main dist?
Cheers,
James

Fwd: [Genome] Stitch MAF blocks given a set of genomic intervals
by Stein Aerts
Dear Galaxy,
I was wondering whether I might be able to get the source of the
online feature "Stitch MAF blocks", to use locally?
Thanks you so much, in advance!
Best regards,

display at UCSC main (gbrowse)
by Rochak Neupane
When a data is in BED format or Customtrack and build is on of ucsc, a link
shows up with a link to "display at UCSC main".
I was wondering if this would be possible to do with gbrowse for data in Gff
or Gff3.
I added gbrowse links to: tool-data/shared/gbrowse/gbrowse_build_sites.txt
for data in gff format, lib/galaxy/datatypes/interval.py has add_display_app
in it, but I was not able to get a link on my dataset.
What exactly do I have to do to get a link to "display in Gbrowse"?
thanks!

strange behavior with Job-queue
by Assaf Gordon
Hello,
On a local galaxy server, I've got into a strange situation:
Several jobs are marked as "new", but non are starting.
I've stop and re-started the server, and got the following message:
-----

-----
But even after a server restart - no jobs are starting (I've waited for
about a minute after restart).
Is there any configuration setting that can cause these jobs to start if
I restart the server? (or cause the 'stale' jobs to be deleted?)
Thanks,
Gordon.

Two usability questions
by Assaf Gordon
On my local galaxy server:
1. Is there a way to limit number of concurrent jobs PER user ?
That is - if one user started a workflow with 30 steps,
Executing only one (or two or three) jobs of that user,
instead of all his jobs hogging the job-queue (and causing other users'
jobs to wait).
2. Is there a way to force users to login?
Prevent un-logged in users from running jobs ?
Thanks,
Gordon.

file format on biomart imported data
by Rochak Neupane
Hello,
When importing BioMart data from galaxy, the format is always "text". In the
"Results" page in BioMart where it says "Export al results to Galaxy, the
only available format is "TSV".
Export all results to Galaxy HTMLCSVTSVXLS Unique results only
Should this not make the data imported to galaxy to be "tabular"? With the
default "text" format, I cannot view the data within galaxy, I have to
download it first then open in an editor. Only when the I change the data
type to "tabular" do I get to view the data within galaxy. I downloaded
same data as both "text" formatted and "tabular" formatted and there are no
differences between the files.
It would be better if galaxy could automatically change the datatype to
"tabular" when getting data from biomart.
When sequences are imported, perhaps galaxy can detect it as such and apply
the "fasta" format. Biomart always exports sequences in fasta format but in
galaxy this also comes out as text.
Thanks.

Help with adding new datatype
by Chris Cole
Hi,
I'm confused on how to add a new datatype. I've read the
http://g2.trac.bx.psu.edu/wiki/AddingDatatypes wiki page, but it isn't
clear what I need to do for a completely new type.
Specifically, I want to add a gzip tool to compress and uncompress files
to help up/downloading of large files. I've added the following line to
the datatypes_conf.xml:
<datatype extension="gz" type="galaxy.datatypes.images:Gzip"
mimetype="application/gzip" display_in_upload="true"/>
But I am stumped as to where I should add the additional information as
per step 3. on the wiki page. Can someone help, please? BTW I do code,
but not in python.
Thanks,
Chris

Lost sequence info on update
by Chris Cole
Hi,
I've recently done an svn update on my local Galaxy install, which all
seemed to go well. However, in the history pane, the information for
fasta and solexafastq files no longer details the number of sequences in
the file, it only gives the size of the file. How do I get back the
sequence information for those file types?
Thanks,
Chris

[patch] much more efficient fasta tools
by James Casbon
Hi everyone,
I got bored waiting around for the fasta tools to finish so I improved
the length filter and fasta to tabular scripts. On a reasonable data
set these were taking over ten minutes with the old version. With
this version its a few seconds.
The improvement comes from not reformatting the data, caching it in
memory or building a hash. All of these are unnecessary for these
tasks IMO.
cheers,
James
