Re: [galaxy-user] SNP calling problems (Jennifer Jackson)
by garzetti 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi Jen, thank you for your answer! I have used the Add or Replace group tool and it worked pretty well, so that I could use the FreeBayes tool with no problem! Now I have another question: I have been pre-processing my data with the NGS: GATK tools according to their Best Practices and I am ready for SNP calling. I have read the Unified Genotyper documentation and, since I am working with bacterial genome sequences, I would need to set the -sample-ploidy argument to 1 (default 2). I cannot find this option in the Galaxy version of this tool, not even in the advanced options. How can I do that? Thank you very much!

Tophat Error: segment-based junction search failed with err
by Delong, Zhou 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hello, I don't know why I still have this problem.. I have run tophat2 with different dataset, sometimes it goes well but sometime I have this error. I run only one job at a time on a virtual machine with 8G memory without using galaxy plateform. I tried --no-coverage-search option but it changes nothing. Thanks.

And why has Bowtie/Tophat discard different numbers of reads? What will be the impact? Does it means that if I don't have exact matches between the paired end input, it is still be possible to run the job? Thanks, Delong

Bioinformatics Training Course in Portugal
by Pedro Fernandes 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Course Announcement NOTE: please apply as soon as possible, the period for applications is exceptionally short due to operational reasons *ARANGS13* Automated and reproducible analysis of NGS data IMPORTANT DATES for ARANGS13 Deadline for applications: October 8th 2013 Notification of acceptance dates: October 15th 2013 Course date: October 21st - October 24th 2013 Course Description: Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies for DNA have resulted in a yet bigger deluge of data. Researchers are learning that analysing such data sets is becoming the bottleneck in their work. In many cases, several steps in these analyses are fairly generic (e.g. quality control filtering, alignment to reference sequences, typing) so that off-the-shelf pipelines can be applied. In other cases, novel research approaches require development of new analysis pipelines. Either way, all analysis steps should be repeatable and any changes made to the data (e.g. renaming, annotation, alignment) should be recorded so that the provenance of the results is clear and inferences are reproducible. In this brief workshop we will establish several best practices of reproducibility and provenance recording in the (comparative) analysis of data obtained by NGS. In doing so we will encounter the commonly used technologies that enable these best practices by working through use cases that illustrate the underlying principles. Building on the basis of workflow development, we will further illustrate how custom-built workflows can be manipulated using graphical platforms (e.g. Galaxy, Taverna, etc.). Best practices Standardized project organization Projects 'runnable' without user intervention No loss of data, metadata, parameters or source code through versioning Sharing of scripts and workflows Technologies Next generation sequencing platforms File formats (e.g. FASTQ, SAM/BAM, GFF3) Command-line executables, command line scripting and batching High-level programming with domain-specific toolkits Revision control systems Workflow environments (both visual and command line) Use cases Phylogenetic placement of metagenomic data Typing of pathogens Comparative analysis of multicellular genomic data Post-assembly: handling richly annotated genomes More information, including application instructions, available at http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/ARANGS13/ Thank you Pedro Fernandes GTPB coordinator -- Pedro Fernandes Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência Apartado 14 2781-901 OEIRAS PORTUGAL Tel +351 21 4407912 http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt

question about samtools in Galaxy
by Robert Jackman 03 Oct '13

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the ability to randomly sample a sam or bam file (view -s) is available via Galaxy samtools? I can't find it but it might be an option that I am missing. sincerely, Robert Jackman raiseal(a)gmail.com rjackman(a)bu.edu

Re: [galaxy-user] main galaxy server is down?
by Jennifer Jackson 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi Boaz, The NGS queue was believed to be moving yesterday (incorrectly by me), and is now under review again. The grey queued jobs will eventually execute, so I wouldn't delete them quite yet, but jobs are not processing at this time. We will update the banner on the public Main server if this is extended. http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support#Dataset_status_and_how_jobs_execute For high-priority work, a move to an alternate Galaxy solution is an option. A cloud Galaxy is one good choice - this is a sure thing but has associated costs. Other public servers are also potential choices - each has different tools available and other requirements - so check out these and see what may work. Links for you to review are here: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/BigPicture/Choices http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Cloud http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/PublicGalaxyServers Good luck, and thanks for the patience during our upgrade, Jen Galaxy team On 10/1/13 1:53 AM, Boaz Shaanan wrote: > Thanks Jennifer, My job is still in the queue, so I'll keep it that way.

problem with logging in after resetting password

Hello, I am having problems accessing my galaxy account. I forgot my password and asked for it to be reset. When the new password was sent to me, it didn't work when I tried it. I've resetted 4x and each time the new password hasn't worked to log. Hope you can solve the problem.

bwa indexing not automatic?
by Joshua Orvis 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

I installed a new copy of galaxy today and then added the bwa_wrappers tool. After I upload my reference genome and left/right reads I get output like this each time I try to run bwa for illumina: The alignment failed. Error aligning sequence. [bwa_aln] 17bp reads: max_diff = 2 [bwa_aln] 38bp reads: max_diff = 3 [bwa_aln] 64bp reads: max_diff = 4 [bwa_aln] 93bp reads: max_diff = 5 [bwa_aln] 124bp reads: max_diff = 6 [bwa_aln] 157bp reads: max_diff = 7 [bwa_aln] 190bp reads: max_diff = 8 [bwa_aln] 225bp reads: max_diff = 9 [bwt_restore_bwt] fail to open file '/seq/gscidA/www/gscid_devel/htdocs/galaxy-dist/database/files/000/dataset_4.dat.bwt'.

Any clue what's going on here?
