unable to import run or save-to-file published workflow after galaxy upgrade
by McCulloch, Alan
dear all,
we've just upgraded our Galaxy server (Galaxy revision 7148:17d57db9a7c0, upgraded to revision 10422:a886bc3ae924 ), and
have found that an NGS training workflow that one of us set up and published is no longer accessible - we now get a stack trace
when we try to run it (screenshot attached) ; if we try to save to file, we "get page not found" from the browser, but no errors
reported in web logs, or Galaxy log as far as we can see
Is there any way we can recover the workflow ?
How to avoid this happening in future upgrades ? This time it is not a major problem, however we would not want this to happen to
production workflows. Should we save-to-file on all workflows as a precaution before an upgrade ? (Would that help ? )
The workflow included steps as below.
Grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers
Alan McC
First Part : checking GC content
*Upload the sampling.fasta file or get it from the shared data in Galaxy.
*Use geecee from EMBOSS
*Remove beginning (Text manipulation), first line
*Convert as tabular (Text manipulation) or cut (Text manipulation)
*Histogram (Graph/Display Data)on col2
*Compute data (Text manipulation) (data4 convert; col2>0.2)
*Count data (statistics on col3) If it is worth it we can remove the sequences which have a too low GC content
3
Second part : sequence length
*Compute Sequence length (FASTA manipulation)
*Summary Statistics (Statistics)on col2
*Filter by length(FASTA manipulation) ; 800
*Line/world/character count(Text manipulation)
*Blastn against fungi db : yeast, only one hit to show (advanced options )
*Count the lines to know how many sequences have a hit . (Text manipulation)
4
Bonus track : removing sequences with low GC content
*Select (filter and sort) on data 6 where matching = True
*FASTA-to-Tabular (FASTA manipulation) the input file sampling.fasta (2 col for the title)
*Join two datasets(Join, Subtract and Group) on the columns c1
*Tabular-to-FASTA (fasta manipulation) of the previous results.
*You can see how many sequences you took away (click on the dataset name in History) and it should correspond to the number of True in Count .

Tophat for Illumina - built-in dog genome mislabelled
by Court, Michael
Hi,
I minor annoyance that I had found with the current implementation of "Tophat for Illumina (version 1.5.0)" in the public usegalaxy.org site:
When you submit sequences for alignment, the dropdown list of available genomes gives 2 dog genome choices - BUT both are labeled the same - "Dog(Canis lupus familiaris): canFam2".
After trial and error I found that the second (lower on the list) choice is actually "Dog(Canis lupus familiaris): canFam3.1".
Hopefully this can be corrected at some point - maybe when the next release comes out from the Broad.

Trouble viewing History from a particular laptop
by Olivia Choudhury
Hello,
I am a graduate student in the University of Notre Dame. I have installed a
personal instance of Galaxy and have been developing tools there as a part
of my research.
Everything worked well on my laptop until recently, when I could not view
the 'History' panel, no matter which browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) I
used on my laptop (Windows 7 OS). Everything works absolutely fine and I
can view 'History' when I am using a desktop or any other laptop.
I have checked this across different operating systems and also ensured
that no changes were made with the Firewall setup of my laptop.
I have attached a print screen of what the Galaxy page looks like.
It would be great if I could get some help with this.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Olivia

Problems processing histories existing on galaxy before the changeover
by Elwood Linney
Is anyone who had developed histories on Galaxy online before the
changeover getting red error messages after the changeover for tophat or
cuffdiff processing?
I have now tried a few times to move forward without luck and will remove
at least one of my histories and start all over again just in case there is
some kind of mismatch in the processing.
Before I remove them all and start them all over, I would appreciate
knowing if anyone else has identified where the block is.

Online galaxy turning everything red on RNAseq steps
by Elwood Linney
Hello, I have been waiting a few weeks to process some RNA seq datasets
but woke up this morning with lots of steps red. I thought it just might
be because of the movement of the system but I processed steps for some
histories and everything has turned red.
I also noticed that online Galaxy now has RNAseq steps separated into two
sections--does this have something to do with the problems?

Empty bowtie2 output
by Mikel Egaña Aranguren
Hi;
I'm trying to use the bowtie2 wrapper but it generates and empty output
with the "no peek" sign. I have sucesfully recreated the analysis with the
same datatsets on the shell, so it must be something to do with Galaxy, but
I don't know where to look at. Any clues? Thanks
I'm using bowtie2-2.1.0 and Galaxy:

Galaxy available disk space bug
by Itys Comet
Hi everybody,
Despite I purged all data from my Galaxy account and double checked that
my account is actually empty by looking at Saved Histories/Advanced
Search/status:all, my account is indicating that I am using half of it
(as indicated in User/Preferences).
Moreover, this is preventing me to actually use more than half of my
account showing that it is not a display problem.
It is also not a refresh rate problem since this problem started several
months ago.
Could you please help me with that?
All the best,
Itys

replace function on galaxy
by Xianrong Wong
Hello, I have been using the compute function in galaxy to replace
sequences with delimiters for processing my reads. I realized that the
replace "code" in compute no longer works. Is there any other way to
replace sequences with delimiters?

Re: [galaxy-user] Metagenomic filtering

All good thoughts and if I remember correctly, custom software can
indeed to incorparated into Galaxy through use of the "Toolshed" . I'll
check into this with Jennifer.

How to lauch bulit cluster on Cloudman?
by Yan He
Dear all,
I just established Galaxy Cloudman on Amazon EC2. I created a cluster named
"exon_capture" and uploaded a lot of data to it. After some analysis, I
terminated the cluster. The second time I wanted to get access to the
"exon_capture" cluster, I created a new instance under the "exon_capture".
However, under this instance, the "access galaxy" button is in grey and not
active. I tried several time, but the button was always in grey. Does anyone
know what's wrong? Did I miss something? It may be a very simple question,
but it bothers me a whole afternoon. Thanks a lot!
