Re: [galaxy-user] how to do an enrichment analysis in Galaxy
by Anton Nekrutenko 19 Apr '12

Binnaz: Please, in the future forward such questions to galaxy-user(a)bx.psu.edu mailing list. This is the most reliable way to get your queries answered. If you carefully go through http://usegalaxy.org/galaxy101 you will see how to count occurrences of features (such as LINES) within genomic ranges (such as (ChrX:144,000,000-146,500,000)).

Re: [galaxy-user] [galaxy-dev] Create and Transfer Galaxy Page

Hi Todd, > [Not sure if this is better suited to galaxy-dev or -user, so I'm sending to both]. galaxy-user is most appropriate for this question because it related to usage of Galaxy; galaxy-dev is for local installation and tool development questions. > My question is - can I create a Galaxy 'Published Page' from my local Galaxy instance/histories, and then transfer that page to the main Galaxy instance? Not currently, though this is in our long-term plan. > The reason is that I cannot make my local Galaxy instance public, as I am using a campus resource to host our galaxy. If this is possible, how can I do that? If not, any other ideas? It is possible to move datasets and workflows relatively easily between instances, so I'd recommend that: (a) you move your data and workflows to our public instance; (b) rerun your analyses on the public instance to create the required; (c) create and host the Page on our public instance. You can be assured that we will maintain our public server over the coming years and your Page will remain available and have a stable URL. > Also, are there any tutorials/pages on how to create Published Pages in Galaxy in the first place? Not yet, though the idea is for the Page editor to be self explanatory. Here's how to get started with Pages: (a) from User menu, go to Saved Pages; (b) create a Page; (c) edit the Page using the Web-based editor; there are menus for inserting embedded datasets, workflows, histories, and visualizations as well as performing standard word-processing operations. Let us know if you have problems/questions and we'll start a guide for creating Pages. Best, J.

"Server Error"on Main when viewing or downloading FastQC results
by Davis, Wade 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

I've run FastQC successfully on several different files, but I can not download them or view them. In either. case I receive the following message in my browser (Firefox): Server Error An error occurred. See the error logs for more information. (Turn debug on to display exception reports here) If I go into a history and try to view other FastQC reports that I have viewed before, I get the same error. So I don't think this is a data format or tools issue. I searched the archives, and the server error message has been reported before, and was fixed but no details were given. Thanks for your help.

Re: [galaxy-user] [galaxy-dev] Tophat output
by Jennifer Jackson 18 Apr '12

Hello Jianpeng, The numbers 87 and 93 are the actual maximum lengths of the aligned regions on either side of the junction. If you want to examine your pair-end data statistically, the "NGS: Picard (beta)" tool group has several tool options. However, examining the track at the gene/transcript level for a few well characterized gene bounds is really the best way to understand how the file describes the data. A browser with your tracks loaded (Trackster or UCSC), the text data files, and the Cufflinks manual/FAQ will likely address most of your questions or at least will be a good orientation. The visual portion of this helps a great deal. http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/faq.html To address the visualization at UCSC, I can point you to their User Guide: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html and contact mailing list: http://genome.ucsc.edu/contacts.html Good luck with your project. Please remember to keep questions to the Galaxy team on our mailing lists so that our entire team and community can contribute/benefit, Thanks!

Obtain 3' UTR
by Luciano Cosme 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Howdy, I am working with a genome that is not well annotated and when I tried to obtain the 3'UTR of around 500 genes from Biomart, I only obtain a few (around 20). What would be the easiest way to obtain the 3'UTR using my RNA-seq data (I have 15 samples sequenced)?. I can see the reads on the genomic browser, but I need an automated process. I tried to get the untranscribed gene from Biomart, then the CDS and cDNA and align them, to see the 3'UTR, but still not able get anything after the stop code. Does anyone have experience with it? I also saw that there a lot of genes with "wrong" annotation within the coding region. Thank you. -- *Luciano Cosme* --------------------------------------------- PhD Candidate Texas A&M Entomology Vector Biology Research Group www.lcosme.com 979 845 1885 cosme(a)tamu.edu ---------------------------------------------

Tophat mapping
by 杨继文 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hi, After mapping RNA-Seq paired end reads with Tophat, I can see that most of reads fall into the right regions. However, I still can see lots of reads mapped to non-coding region (the locations where the reads are mapped to don't contain exons). I am wondering if these "non-coding reads" will be included when cufflinks calculates transcript/gene expression. Dying to know your opinion. And another question is: how to know the number of reads mapped to a certain exon? Thanks

Screencasts on screencast.g2.bx.psu.edu ?

Hi there I'm trying to download the screencasts referenced in the Galaxy ENCODE paper (Blankenberg et al 2007). They appear to be on screencast.g2.bx.psu.edu, but while that domain resolves, it doesn't respond to HTTP requests. Does anyone know where they are currently available? Thanks, Peter

Fwd: Create and Transfer Galaxy Page
by Todd Oakley 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi all, [Not sure if this is better suited to galaxy-dev or -user, so I'm sending to both]. I want to document some Galaxy analyses and results for a paper I'm submitting - something like the 'Windshield Splatter' supplement: https://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/aun1/p/windshield-splatter. My question is - can I create a Galaxy 'Published Page' from my local Galaxy instance/histories, and then transfer that page to the main Galaxy instance? The reason is that I cannot make my local Galaxy instance public, as I am using a campus resource to host our galaxy. If this is possible, how can I do that? If not, any other ideas? Also, are there any tutorials/pages on how to create Published Pages in Galaxy in the first place?

Re: [galaxy-user] Adapter Clipping tool
by Xianrong Wong 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Dear all, I'm trying to clip adapter sequences off the ends of my sequencing reads. I tested the tool by purposefully adding parts of the adapter sequence or the full adapter sequence to the 3' end. The tools is amazing in detecting these sequences. However, I encountered some problems. On top of detecting my adapter sequence I found that unrelated sequences are sometimes trimmed off at the 3' end. For example the sequence "TATCCACGTGCTC" was trimmed off even though it does not match the adapter sequence GATCCTCGGCCGCGACC at all. Is there a way to increase the fidelity of the tool? Any comments will be appreciated! Thank you! Best Regards, Jose

ValueError on startup: workaround
by John Norris [jnn] 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi, Just installed Galaxy locally and ran "sh run.sh" for the first time. The web page on 127.0.0.1:8080 gave this error: ValueError: expected only letters, got ' en' This was from line 762 in core.py (in /opt/galaxy-dist/eggs/Babel-0.9.4-py2.6.egg/babel) if not lang.isalpha() raise ValueError('expected only letters, got %r' % lang) So, the workaround is to insert a line before: lang = lang.strip() Then it worked :) Cheers, John John Norris Biorenewables Group (IBERS) Aberystwyth University 01970 823 069
