fastx barcode-splitter
by Marek Szubert 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Hi I have been looking into galaxy with a view to finding a platform target for developing code. It is a very ambitious project, and you deserve congratulations for all the development work that has gone into it so far. I have just started using the fastx barcode splitter tool and found that the job successfully completed with a tabular list of links to display results files contents. When I run a 'get data - upload file from your computer' to load these split files into the galaxy system (as they do not seem to appear in the history list nor are they automatically accessible to Galaxy for some strange reason), I can only do this using the URL input field (of get data - upload file from your computer'), then the task fails and get error : http://localhost:8080/datasets/2d9035b3fc152403/display/Clip_on_data_12__42… An error occurred running this job: *The uploaded file contains inappropriate HTML content The fastx documentation say the split files should be written to /tmp , but that it not accessible on the public server the files are not there on my installation. * * Could anyone suggest alternative working methods for reloading the barcode split files? thanks Dr Jan Szubert *

Read shuffler and code contributions
by Florent Angly 16 Dec '10

Hi, I was wondering if there is a tool in Galaxy to put mate pair reads located in two files inside a single file? I made the error of believing that the FASTQ joiner does that, but it does not. If this feature is not planned, I am willing to work on it. Which of the following would be better for integration into Galaxy? * a clean Python implementation like the other utilities in tools/fastq/, i.e. fastq_groomer.py and fastq_paired_end_joiner.py * a wrapper around the Velvet utilities, shuffleSequences_fastq.pl and shuffleSequences_fasta.pl, given that Velvet already has a wrapper in Galaxy Regarding contributing code to the galaxy-central repository, what is the best way to get it done? Recently, I cloned the galaxy-central repository on Bitbucket, made some changes and requested the changes to be pulled, but I have not heard from the Galaxy Team yet. Let me know if you like to do things a different way! Best, Florent

help regarding annotation
by pande 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Dear galaxy, Conceptually if I take sequences from mm9 and use the lift over to convert them to mm8 and then annotate these with any software for cis element annotation do you think I will get a fairly good result ? I am bit confused. Does the annotation for the cis regulome undergo so much variation ? thanks .

Wiki erratum...
by Richard Bruskiewich 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Galaxy Colleagues, I don't know who is maintaining the Galaxy wiki page at http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/NGSLocalSetup but I noticed that the Python script under the Megablast instructions has an error: the "defline" operation after the "line.startswith" should be moved *after* the if length > 0 statement, otherwise, the defline is reset incorrectly before the previous sequence is written out. This results in a frameshift in the FASTA header line identifiers (i.e. the current sequence gets the next sequence identifier). I've commented out the erroneous defline below and added the right one: import sys length = 0 defline = '' seq = [] for line in sys.stdin : line = line.rstrip( '\r\n' ) if line.startswith( '>' ): # defline = line.split( "|" )[1] # defline should NOT be here if length > 0: print ">%s_%s" % ( defline, length ) print "\n".join( seq ) length = 0 seq = [] defline = line.split( "|" )[1] # defline should be here else: seq.append( line ) length += len( line ) print ">%s_%s" % ( defline, length ) print "\n".join( seq ) While on the topic of this page, perhaps the software versions need to be revisited. Megablast has been superseded already by Blast+. Perhaps new releases of Galaxy should update this? BTW, when is the new Galaxy release (cloud man AMI too...) coming out? I heard rumors that it was due this week.

Hello - There is a Bioinformatics analyst position open at The Jackson Laboratory. If interested, please go to http://www.jax.org/careers/current-jobs.html to apply. Job Description There is a position available in the Computational Sciences Statistics and Analysis (CS-SA) Group to provide bioinformatics analysis and statistical consulting support to our research staff and JAX Mice and Services. This position will have a significant focus on providing analytical support for high-throughput-sequence (HTPS) data analysis and will interact directly with research faculty and staff at The Jackson Laboratory. The successful candidate will need to develop a broad understanding of faculty research goals and will consult with faculty on the use of the bioinformatics service. Responsibilities include a majority of the following: * Analysis and interpretation of HTPS data; * Developing and managing HTPS data analysis pipelines; * Involvement in all phases of analysis from data processing and quality control through final analytical results; * Develop analytical expertise in DNASeq, RNASeq and ChIPSeq as it pertains to HTPS data analysis; * Statistical consulting; * QTL Analysis; * Gene Expression Analysis; * Work closely with the other Computational Sciences groups, especially the Computational Sciences scientific computing group to develop synergistic interactions that promote best use and collaboration within the entire Computational Sciences group direct involvement in writing data analysis scripts in widely used bioinformatics and statistics programming languages such as Perl, Python, R, MATLAB, or SAS. Required Experience The successful candidate should have a strong background in bioinformatics tools and resources, molecular biology, genomics and genetics, and data analysis techniques advanced knowledge of biostatistics is a plus. Minimum requirements are a PhD in a biomedical and/or biostatistics discipline or a MS degree and significant relevant experience. The successful candidate will be detailed oriented, highly organized, have excellent written and verbal communications skills and be able to orally present complex materials to scientific audiences. The successful candidate will also need to have a high level of interest in continuous learning of new science and tools for discovery. Flexibility to travel a few times each year is required.

In the mean time, a cluster can be composed of the type of instance that match the current workload type and then the type of instances can be changed as the type of workload changes.
