question about uploading data through URL method
by Xiangming Ding 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi galaxy I am a new user of galaxy. i met a problem and didnot find similar question in FAQ. I wanted to upload the data from DDBJ DRA dataset to galaxy through UTL method. The file is around 800M. However after uploading, the FASTQ file was just around 2M. So I wanted know whether it is possible to upload a large file to galaxy through URL method? or I should download the file to my pc and then uploading to galaxy through FTP method. Thanks xiangmimg

Speed up uploading into local Galaxy, terribly slow!!
by Alejandra Rougon 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, I tried to search in the forums and although this question has appeared many times I still don't have a solution. I cannot manage to upload big files into the local galaxy, it just takes ages. Can I not just copy and paste into a local directory? why do I have to upload the files if it is already installed locally? I do not have a server webpage in order to use the url address option If I do it through ftp (locally) what ftp address shall I put? ftp localhost:8080?? Is there any other option to speed up uploading, is so slow that is no longer worth using it, please help me!

description of "Find diagnostic hits"
by William Hsiao 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi, Is there a more detailed explanation on what "Find Diagnostic hits" module in Metagenomic analysis does? Does it take all the hits above user specified cutoffs to one query and return the taxon name if and only if all the hits have the same taxon (my understanding)? Or, does it look at the top few hits or??? Thanks for providing some clarification on the method. Cheers, Will

Re: [galaxy-user] [galaxy-bugs] GI errors in the megablast table of results ?
by Guru Ananda 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Dear Sandrine, Thanks for pointing out this issue. The BLAST databases we have on Galaxy are from last year, while those on NCBI website are the latest (Jan 2012). As pointed out on NCBI website ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Sitemap/sequenceIDs.html), it appears that each time any change is made to a sequence/database, GI numbers change as well. This is perhaps why you're observing discrepancies in GI numbers and lengths between megablast outputs on Galaxy and NCBI. I'm currently in the process of downloading the latest BLAST databases from NCBI, and I'll let you know when they're available for use on Galaxy. Thanks for your patience, Guru Galaxy team.

Re: [galaxy-user] Visualise data
by Jennifer Jackson 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi Ateeq, The BAM/SAM files can be visualized in Trackster, using your custom reference genome (the same dataset as used for Bowtie or TopHat). But, there are no Cufflinks results, and therefore nothing to visualize, due to the parameters used. Since you are working with a bacterial genome, the parameters will need to be tuned to account for the lack of transcript splicing. The best resources for advice are likely seqanswers or the tool authors, as explained in this prior answer to another bacterial genome/RNA-seq question: http://galaxy-users-list-archive.2308625.n4.nabble.com/Cufflinks-merging-mo… Recently, there has been some user discussion about RNA-seq analysis and bacterial genomes on the galaxy-user mailing list. If you want to search and read through the Q&A, using our custom google search is the best way to locate the threads (but, expect to find just a few): http://galaxy.psu.edu/search/mailinglists/ If anyone else reading this thread has help to offer, please feel free to jump in and share any working knowledge for this type of analysis.

Analysis 454 quality data
by Elad Firnberg 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi, I am starting off with 454 read data in an sff file. I would like to get quality statistics on the data, but having trouble getting the tools to work. I first tried to convert to a fastq file and use the "Compute Quality Statistics" tool, but I get this error, "An error occurred running this job: *fastx_quality_stats: found invalid nucleotide sequence "* I then tried the "fastq groomer" and repeated the "Compute Quality Statistics", but got the same error. Perhaps it cannot handle the longer 454 sequences? * * Alternatively I tried converting the sff file to a fasta file and quality file. I had to manually convert the quality data file to qual454 for the "Build Base Quality Distribution" tool to recognize it, but upon doing that I got this error: *"*An error occurred setting the metadata for this dataset." And the Build Base Quality Distribution tool, also failed. * * * * Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated, Thank you, Elad

Sam filtering and Header/Sorting issues
by denis puthier 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Dear All, I would like to add some filtering steps in my RNA-Seq pipeline. To do so, I used the accepted.hits from TopHat and apply a filter using NGS: SAM Tools > Filter SAM and select reads with bitwise flag 0x0002. This does the job. However, I am unable to use cufflink after this step and got the following error message that seems to indicate that the file contains no header and is unsorted. Is there a workaround ? Thanks a lot http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/dputhier/h/srx011549 Error running cufflinks. return code = 1 cufflinks: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by cufflinks) Command line: cufflinks -q --no-update-check -s 20 -I 300000 -F 0.100000 -j 0.150000 -p 8 -m 200 -g /galaxy/main_pool/pool5/files/003/858/dataset_3858145.dat /galaxy/main_pool/pool1/files/003/858/dataset_3858306.dat [bam_header_read] EOF marker is absent.

FASTQ groomer processing time
by Matthew McCormack 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I used FASTQ groomer on a 29 Gb Illumina 1.5+ FASTQ file to go from Illumina 1.3-1.7+ to Sanger and it is still processing after over 30 hrs. Is this a normal time frame for a FASTQ file this size ?
