How to extrapolate differentially expressed genes after running cuffdiff?
by i b 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hi guys, have a question about the cuffdiff output "differential expression testing". For most of you might sound "naive" but I'm new to this field and I have very little background in statistic. So, I have compared a control sample with 2 biological replicates using cuffdiff. I have now about 4000 genes which were tested. 1. How do I extrapolate the genes which are up- or downregulated from the 4000? 2. Is there a FPKM value above which a gene is up- or downregulated? 3.I used excel and sorted the values from highest to smallest: assuming that control highest value is 200 and the correspondent treated values is 2, can I say that that gene is downregulated in the treated ssamples by a 100 fold chnage? 4. Do I have to use at all the p_values given in the output to extrapolate the most up- or downregualted genes? I do not have yet cummerbund and I am not very good with R. And I 'm lost! Thanks, ib

hi, I would like to upload the HPV16 W12E genome (AF125673) (human papilloma virus type 16 ) but I find it hard to be accepted by galaxy. Any suggestion where I can find the correct one? thanks, ib

Question about Unified genotyper
by Mathew Bunj 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

I have been trying to use either Unified genotyper or Freebayes on one of the Bam file. Both are failing. 1. With Unified genotyper it give me message saying Sequences are not currently available for specified build. I have hg19 related data and using default settings (pick up hg_g1k_v37 no other option). I am not sure why it is giving me this error. 2. As an alternative I tried to run Freebayes with default setting and choosing hg19 - it i snot giving any specific message but undetr bug icon gives me -killed. Now in order to make sure my Bam is OK, I tested out side Galaxy mPile up and with in Galaxy pile up. Any suggestion why UNified genotyper is not working. If needed I can share my history. Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a registered user of the public Galaxy Server (main). I was trying to upload two files (one is 1.6G and the other is 1.9G) but it was labeled as "Job is waiting to run" forever. Could you please let me know the possible reasons? Sincerely, Yan

how to use user-defined reference?
by Yan He 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hi everyone, I am wondering if I can use user-defined reference instead of selecting the reference genome listed in Galaxy while doing mapping. If we can, how can I choose the uploaded reference instead of selecting the reference genome? Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Cheers, Yan

How to block anonymous access and disallow user registration‏
by Joel Rosenberg 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hello, I've just set up my own instance of Galaxy running in AWS and had a security question that I couldn't find an answer to on the wiki. I'd like to prevent people from hitting my public Amazon IP and using Galaxy. Is there a way to prevent anonymous users from accessing any part of Galaxy except a login prompt and have user registration be invite-only (or perhaps turn it off completely once a handful of accounts have been created)? Thanks, -Joel

a question about cuffdiff "values"
by Elwood Linney 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hello: I am a Galaxy-naive molecular, developmental biologist studying repression/derepression of early embryonic gene expression in zebrafish embryos. After attending the Galaxy meeting I returned home and worked up two mRNAseq files to determine RNA expression differences using cuffdiff between a treated and an untreated sample (i.e. data from cuffdiff under the title of "gene differential expression testing"). I downloaded the data, opened it up in an Excel file and captured all the "significant" rows. If I look at the "value 1" and "value 2" columns I find that many of the numbers are single digits. I expect that in one of the columns that the numbers will be very low (that is, less than 1) because the treatment should be inducing gene expression in a subfamily of genes that are repressed. My questions are: 1) what do these numbers represent? 2) If in the "value" column where I expect a higher number has a "value of 10" or less mean anything or should one be selecting for values higher that these single digit numbers 3) And in the column of genes that might be repressed is there really a difference between a "value of 0.1 versus something like 0.01" since that can change my log ratios significantly--this, of course, goes back to my first question I would appreciate any help I could get, sincerely, el linney Professor of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology Duke University Medical Center
