Hello, This Galaxy wrapper is based on the FASTX-Toolkit tool by the same name. A link to the original is at the bottom of the tool's form in the UI. To see the Galaxy wrapper, it is in the source here: galaxy-central / tools / fastx_toolkit https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central Questions about the core tool can be directed to the tool author. Help with running a local Galaxy or tools in general is on the galaxy-dev(a)bx.psu.edu mailing list: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support#Mailing_Lists If you create a new wrapper with more options, please consider contributing it to the Tool Shed, as this tool is super popular and the option for 5' clipping has come up before. http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Tool%20Shed Take care, Jen Galaxy team On 8/22/13 12:58 PM, William Yarosh wrote: > Thanks, > > I'm trying to figure out how to use these programs. > > Do you know where I can get the source code for clip?

How to get random region of 1000-bp window in the chromosome not overlapping specific [gtf] file
by 师云 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Dear Galaxy develop team: As the subject said, I need to obtain random regions which are 1000-bb, and then filter these regions to remove regions overlapping a specific [gtf] file. So can I obtain random regions with Galaxy? I found (Regional Variation)->Make windows may help me, but the tool doesn't work at random. bests John

Clip

Hi, I was using the clip program, but my adapters are on the 5' end. Is there any way to use this program so it will clip the 5' end or a way to make all my reads the reverse complement and run it through this program? Thanks

tool within a tool

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible in Galaxy to design a tool whose sole purpose is to run other tools. This is motivated by our desire to enhance execution capabilities of existing tools via a generic tool which acts as a wrapper. Thanks, -- Ketan

Counts of mapped reads for each gene?
by Yan He 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi Jen and other galaxy-users, I am analyzing our RNA-seq data. First, I mapped the RNA-seq data to the reference genome. I am wondering if there is a tool that could count the number of reads that mapped to each gene. That's important information for my subsequent analysis. Any reply is highly appreciated! Thanks, Yan

Hi Jen, Maybe I have not explained my question cleared which caused the confusion: I did not mean the name of dataset. Actually I asked about the display of the tool in the graphic view from the default value (guess it is the name attribute in the tool element of the wrapper) to something else in the workflow editor. As my ultimate purpose is to share my workflow with someone else. If they see three steps with the same displayed name and do not have the related knowledge, they will get lost.

I found 2 ways may solve the question but it is both useless; 1. I use (Filter and Sort) -> Filter to cut the [gtf] file into 2 files such as the follows: File A ( contain transcript ): 1 Cufflinks transcript 3 22 1000 + . gene_id "CUFF.26"; transcript_id "CUFF.26.1"; 1 Cufflinks transcript 10 40 1000 - . gene_id "CUFF.204"; transcript_id "CUFF.204.1"; File B ( contain exon): 1 Cufflinks exon 3 22 1000 + . gene_id "CUFF.26"; transcript_id "CUFF.26.1"; exon_number "1"; 1 Cufflinks exon 10 15 1000 - . gene_id "CUFF.204"; transcript_id "CUFF.204.1"; exon_number "1"; 1 Cufflinks exon 30 40 1000 - . gene_id "CUFF.204"; transcript_id "CUFF.204.1"; exon_number "1"; Then I use (Operate on Genomic Intervals)->Subtract to subtract File B from File A Return Non-overlapping pieces of intervals. I thought it will return a file containing intron But the result is an empty file; 2.

Re: [galaxy-user] Question about Extract intron sequences from [gtf file] + [genome FASTA file]

Hi Jen, Thank you very much for your reply. The file contains more than 5000 transcripts so I don't pull out data per transcript. I do as you told and make sure the format. I filter the gff file to get a new file only containing exons information (I was wrong yesterday because I used the raw gtf file as I told in the former mail), then convert gtf to bed . So I can use (Extract Features)->Gene BED To Exon/Intron/Codon BED to get a bed file containing introns such like this: 1 9162341 9162884 CUFF.1911.1 0 - 1 22819814 22826251 CUFF.5109.1 0 + 1 25887852 25895755 CUFF.5509.1 0 - 1 25895822 25902258 CUFF.5509.1 0 - 1 39783161 39786032 CUFF.8086.1 0 + Then I met another problem: I got an empty file when I used Extract Genomic DNA to fetch sequence whether the file was gtf format or not. It returned a right result while I used the bed file downloaded from UCSC main. I think I have checked the format, but I found nothing wrong. the data downloaded from UCSC main is like this: chr1 133903980 133904133 NM_214429_exon_0_0_chr1_133903981_f 0 + chr1 133914112 133914267 NM_214429_exon_1_0_chr1_133914113_f 0 + chr1 133917280 133917449 NM_214429_exon_2_0_chr1_133917281_f 0 + Then I suddenly found the problem when I was trying to explain it. The input file of the tool (Extract Genomic DNA) request the condition of the chromosome name which should be ,for example, 'chr1' rather than '1' . I have tackled it all day .It is really low deficient when there is not anybody instructing in face to face.

The exon_number "1" should be "2" (remember to count reverse, is on the negative strand). But that is a side issue. There are other things that do not quite make sense, but the entire dataset was not shared. Run this again, but do the following: 1 - make sure the files are in interval format and that the column assignments are correct (click on the pencil icon) 2 - Use strand assignment or better, separate (+) and (-) stranded transcripts into two files, at the start and run the query in two workflows from there. Some GOPS tools work best this way. Also, be aware that some of these transcripts will not have intron output. For example, the first transcript in your example is a single exon transcript. Also, if you have genes with overlapping variant transcripts, these will interfere with the query (you will lose introns or fractions of introns), but I don't know how large of a dataset you are working with. If you want to pull out data per transcript, the tools in the group "Filter and Sort" can be used to subset GFF/GTF files. The last query that you ran is the ideal way to run to obtain this information in Galaxy, but the GFF to BED converter creates a BED6, not a BED12 file, and this is why the tool produced no output (see the tool form for required input). Having this tool accept GTF formatted input might be something to consider as an enhancement - I will run it by our development team and open a Trello ticket as appropriate. Another method, which may not be available to you, (from looking at the chromosome identifiers - these are not UCSC chrom IDs) -- but could help in the future or others now, is to use the UCSC Table browser. It goes something like this: 1 - Click on "display at UCSC Main" for a GTF dataset, this loads the data as a custom track, default display in assembly viewer 2 - Once in UCSC, at the top bar, pick Tools -> Table Browser 3 - In the Table Browser, change track group to "Custom Tracks" and the user track you just loaded will be there 4 - Change region = genome, then output = bed, and make sure "Send output to Galaxy" is checked, submit 5 - On the next form, you will be given a list of regions to output in the BED6 output, Introns are one of them Best, Jen Galaxy team On 8/20/13 9:29 AM, 师云 wrote: Dear Jen, I am not much of a Galaxy user yet.

Hi Jennifer, Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am not clever to figure out how to using the existing workflow dataset renaming functions. I only know how to rename a dataset within history. Could you show me how to do this? I have attached a screen shot of my workflow. You can see that I have only managed to add annotation/notes to this step. Ideally I would like to have the step with the label of "mzidLib:PostProcessing FDR" in the graphic view. From other thread, someone mentioned to use ${method} in the label, I failed to apply this trick. Best regards!
