SNP annotation
by Oliver, Gavin 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi, I am new to Galaxy and am wondering what tools are available for annotation of SNPs? I know that snpEff is implemented in Galaxy and this enables annotation such as location and predicted effect, however I am wondering if there are any automated means of annotating a polymorphism as known/novel or determining its frequency in the population. Does Galaxy offer anything like this or would it be necessary to create scripts that would for exampole compare to dbSNP for uniqueness and the 1000 genomes project for frequency.

Re: [galaxy-user] Galaxy Help: Extract sequences from [gtf file] + [genome FASTA file]

Edge, Please send questions like this to the galaxy-user mailing list, where many people see your email and can help you and/or benefit from it. I've cc'd the list for this reply. The thread you linked to is out of date. To get sequences for the features in a GTF file, you can use the 'Extract Genomic DNA' tool and set the option 'Interpret features when possible' to Yes. To get sequences for Cufflinks transcripts, use the transcripts.gtf as input to the tool. Best, J.

Filter Tool
by Jeremy Goecks 12 May '11

12 May '11

(Starting new thread on galaxy-user.) Jagat, It depends what filter tool you're using and what dataset you're filtering. There is a generic filter tool that can be used to filter Cuffdiff tabular files for either FPKM values and differential expression tests. There is also a tool for filtering GTF files based on a Cuffdiff expr dataset. It sounds like you may be confusing either the tools or the inputs. If after double-checking you're still having problems with filtering, please put together a short list of your analysis steps and share your history with me, and I can take a look. Thanks, J. > Further to my question, It appear that there is some problem with the filter option: > When I use the isoform/gene exp file as such it work fine but when I filter these files with either parameter such as status if test was successful or on p value it return me empty file.

Galaxy Community Conference Registration Closes May 17
by Dave Clements 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hello all, We are closing registrations for the Galaxy Community Conference at the end of May 17. However, the conference is likely to fill up before that date. So, if you are thinking about attending, *now* is the time to register for the meeting: http://galaxy.psu.edu/gcc2011/Register.html We have also secured some additional rooms on the night of May 24, in a hotel in Lunteren: http://galaxy.psu.edu/gcc2011/Logistics.html Again, it is not necessary to stay in Lunteren the night of May 24, as it is easy to get there from Amsterdam on May 25, before the meeting starts. Finally, a draft schedule is now available at: http://galaxy.psu.edu/gcc2011/Programme.html This is still subject to change, but we are hoping it won't change much. Just 15 days to go!

galaxy on the cloud - cannot select fastq files when trying to run workflow
by Amit Indap 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hi Galaxy, I am a newbie to Amazon EC2 and have been carefully following the steps in the screencast. I am able to upload two fastq files from the s3 bucket: http://s3.amazonaws.com/heteroplasmy/F4-bM4-1.fastq http://s3.amazonaws.com/heteroplasmy/F4-bM4-2.fastq I am also able import the published workflow http://s3.amazonaws.com/heteroplasmy/Galaxy-Workflow-mt_analysis_0.01_stran… But when it comes to running it, I cannot select the fastq file from the drop down menu. I am able to view them on my GC instance, since I imported them successfully, but am at a loss as to why I can't select them from the drop down menu in the workflow to begin their alignment. Is it something to do with my security group settings in setting up the EC2 instance? Any assistance you can provide would be great! Thanks, Amit -- Amit Indap

Re: [galaxy-user] question about Filtering Cufflink files
by Jeremy Goecks 09 May '11

09 May '11

Jagat, First, a couple housekeeping issues: (a) the questions you're asking are better suited to the galaxy-user list (questions about using Galaxy and performing analyses) rather than galaxy-dev (questions about installing Galaxy locally and tool development), so I've moved this thread to galaxy-user; (b) please start new threads when appropriate rather than replying to older threads as this makes threads shorter and more focused. Onto your questions: > I have another question when I filter gene list In the filtered list there are multiple rows per gene. I should have one gene per row? I have attached the snap shot of out put, but not sure if galaxy server will take it or not. I did se the discussion on other forum: > http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8830 GTF files have multiple lines per feature, so your output is reasonable. > which suggest that possible complications in getting one gene per row. My next question is in that scenario what should be the best way of representing one gene per FPKM value? should we take average of FPKM per gene? I think in the gene it is till giving the transcript FPKM value but these values are different from previous file filtered with transcript id. As Vasu noted, this is an ongoing area of research. For some experiments, it may be reasonable to group alternatively-spliced isoforms of the same gene and jointly estimate FPKM, and for others it may not. Fortunately, if you do want to group transcripts to get gene FPKM values, Cuffdiff does this for you: see its gene FPKM expression file. Best, J.

RNA seq analysis
by puvan001＠umn.edu 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi I have a couple of questions regarding RNA seq analysis. My questions are 1.I need to use a viral genome (very small, ~2kb ) as a reference genome and it is not available in Galaxy. I guess I can use this data from my history. I have a fasta file but I am not sure whether I have to do some kind of indexing or not. 2. In Tophat, default for "maximum number of alignments to be allowed" is 40. What my understanding is a single read can be aligned maximum 40 different places. I am wondering why this is 40. Is there any specific reason? If I need unique mapping, I have to use 1 instead of 40. Am I correct? Thanks SP

Text Manipulation: Filter out duplicates (uniq) from an plain text file ?
by Roman Valls 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hey galaxy users, Thats a fairly good question from one of my colleagues. I've looked through the menus (mainly "Text Manipulation" and "Filter and Sort"(Select)), googled (on the mailing list archives too), but couldn't find an answer: How should I remove duplicates on plain text files without resorting to: "echo file|sort|uniq" before uploading the file/text. or Putting a regexp together to replace the duplicate occurences as in: http://www.regular-expressions.info/duplicatelines.html I'm pretty sure I'm missing some really basic stuff here... is this basic operation something supposed to be done outside galaxy perhaps ? Thanks in advance !

Galaxy's recent problems
by Dave Clements 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hello all, Galaxy has been ill recently due to disk space on the server filling up. In the short term we are working on freeing up space. In the longer term we are working on adding a quota system to limit how much space any one user can take, and we've also ordered a lot more disk. In the mean time, *please take a look at your saved histories and datasets and delete anything you no longer need*. This will greatly help us get through the current rough patch. In the longer term, you can also consider setting up your own local Galaxy instance, or running Galaxy on the cloud. See: http://getgalaxy.org/ https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/cloud Thanks for your patience while we work this out, Dave C and the Galaxy Team -- http://galaxy.psu.edu/gcc2011/ http://getgalaxy.org http://usegalaxy.org/

Composite Datatypes Q.
by Todd Yilk 07 May '11

07 May '11

I have a program I'm trying to "galaxify" that emits a variable number of result files. I would like the output of my Galaxy tool to show up in Galaxy as an html file with links to the result files. So when you click on the eye, the html file should up in the middle pane ... sorry if I'm not describing this in an elegant way. Creating a composite datatype is the way to go in this situation, correct? I'm creating a class that inherits from Html. How do I get the result returned from my custom "generate_primary_file" function to show up as a tool's output ... if that's the right way to go about this? Thanks!

Indel work flow questions
by Mike Dufault 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hi All, I have a question about the NGS: Indel analysis and SNP Calling. Assuming I have loaded my paired end reads, groomed, and got all the way through to alignment with BWA my question the becomes does the analysis for indel analysis and SNP analysis split in the work flow? For SNP analysis, It seems that I need to filter on SAM, convert SAM-to-BAM, etc... For Indel, It seem that I should use the BWA output that is in SAM format for indel analysis. Are these two above statments correct? I also have a question regarding the input for indel analysis. Should I use the BWA output directly (which is in SAM format) or should I first "filter on SAM" and use that output (which is also in SAM format). I have tried the indel analysis using both filtered and unfilterd and I get very similar results. It seems to me that should use the "filtered on SAM" output where I can indicate that the reads are paired=Yes, proper pairs=yes, unmapped=NO. Any thought, insight, etc. Thanks if advance, Mike

I am new to Galaxy and I am not sure whether these topics were discussed earlier. I followed the steps up to cufflinks and I did not have any problems. Thanks for the RNA seq tutorial. My questions are 1. How do I know the number of reads mapped against the reference genome used after Top Hat mapping 2. I am aware that Cuffdiff is used to find the differences in expression. How do I combine replicates (3) of different treatments ? SP

quality stat.
by Robin Mjelle 04 May '11

Dear User, I am trying to use the tool "Compute quality statistics<http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/tool_runner?tool_id=cshl_fastx_quality_statistics>" in galaxy on Ilumina single reads. The file is 2.3 Gb, fastq format. I have performed Quality format converter on the data set and the format is now qualillumina. Despite of this, galaxy don't recognize any dataset in the workflow to use as input into quality statistics. Any idea why my dataset is not accepted as input? Best, Robin

Only first 5000 reads are displayed in this tile
by Jeremy Chien 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi During the visualization of my mRNAseq data, some area have red line indicating that only the first 5000 reads are displayed. Within this region, some area have many reads. Some area, where exons exist, I don't see any reads. How do I interpret the data? If there are no reads shown in the visualization, although there is a read line saying only the first 5000 reads are displayed, does the absence of reads corresponding to a particular exon means it is not expressed?

Removing deleted datasets
by Simon Lank 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi. Our current galaxy database is ~ 600 gb, most of which are user deleted datasets. I followed the instructions here: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/PurgeHistoriesAndDa… and ran the shell scripts in recommended order. One of them in particular (I think it was purge_histories.sh) took amost 24 hours to complete. However, it doesn't appear any / most of the files were actually deleted, since we still have ~ 600 gb of dataset files. Is there something obvious I can try to get the files purged correctly? Thanks. Simon Simon Lank Research Specialist O'Connor Lab, WNPRC 555 Science Dr. Madison WI (608) 265-3389
