Re: [galaxy-user] Galaxy in cloud (not Amazon)

Hi Anatoliy, If you're going to keep that cluster alive continuously, just set it up as per the page whose link you provided and you should be ok. If you plan on having multiple users have their own cloud clusters with Galaxy, you'll probably want to do what I suggested in my previous email.

Performing operations on tab delimited text files
by Lanelle Oni Edwards 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hi, My name is Lanelle Edwards. I am a new galaxy user. I uploaded a tab delimited text file to my history. However, the first column of the data I imported is solely chromosome number and start and end position (ALL IN ONE COLUMN) in the format chrI:1000000-2000000. My question is: How can I filter out these values into separate columns using galaxy tools? For example: Having a separate column for chromosome number, column for start position, column for end position. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks, Lanelle Edwards Lab Manger University of Maryland

blast tools on free public server
by John DeFilippo 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

We're using the free public Galaxy server (main.g2.bx. psu.edu) We uploaded a genome FASTA sequence via ftp, and want to do BLAST searches (e.g., tblastn) against protein sequences that we've also uploaded to Galaxy, as well as on NCBI. BLAST tools don't show in the tools column, or when entered in the search box. Google searches on 'BLAST in Galaxy' bring up pages on 'wrappers' and xml, and we're but humble biologists. Can anyone please explain (simply, presuming no knowledge of wrappers, perl, python, java, scripts, xml, etc. on our part) how we can do this? Thank you. John D

Cannot find upload options
by Matina Fragkogianni 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello, I have an instance of Galaxy locally and I'm trying to upload a dataset. I have administrator privileges and I have already created a data library. The problem is that I want to upload a directory of files into Galaxy but in the drop-down menu (Upload option:) I have only two options 1) upload files (where i can upload only one file at a time) 2) import dataset from current history. I don't have the other options show on the wiki. Do you have any idea what the problem might be? I've downloaded the latest version as instructed using this command. ( hg clone https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist/) Kind Regards, Matina

Installing Galaxy on SGE Cluster - Questions
by greg 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hi guys, I'm following the instructions here to install Galaxy on our SGE cluster. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster (I'm aiming for the unified install) Here are a couple of questions I'm hoping someone could clear up for me: How exactly do I use virtual env to make Galaxy install all the Python libraries there instead of on the system? How will Galaxy know to use the virtualenv to run and to use it for grid jobs? Do I need to install all of the dependencies listed on this page: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Dependencies If so what's a good way to make sure they're contained in the galaxy-dist directory and make sure Galaxy and all of the jobs know to find these tools there? Thanks, Greg

FTP Upload Error
by Amanda Jones 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

I'm having trouble uploading via FTP to my Galaxy account. I've been receiving the following error message: 503 Sorry, the maximum number of clients(3) for this user are already connected. I've ensured that I'm only using a single connection to upload. Any clue what's going on? I still have available space in my Galaxy account for the upload and I've previously uploaded similarly sized files with no problems.
