Gerald 16s is basically useless for identification to genus. Since I started sequencing 16s in 1992, I have come to realize that without sequencing the full 1540 bases, it is generally misleading, and even than, it is not accurate enough to nail genus on more than 1/2 the cases. However, what is your feeling on ITS and gyrase, They seem to be far more discriminating but those databases have been decommissioned sometime ago. The desirable thing would be that Galaxy or NCBI add a "filter conserved genes" [ ie any hit with a second choice greater than 3% distance]. Something such as that. If you (or others) are aware of such a thing, I'd love the here about it.

Hi Thanh, Questions are fine, that is what this mailing list is for. But please do try to cc the mailing list and start a new thread for new topics when possible.

Thanh, To hopefully be clearer, the part matched is clipped (whole or partial, and there is even some tolerance for low-frequency mismatches). I would suggest taking a few sequences out and running the tool on them to try it out. You could test for both length and mismatch constraints this way. (Perhaps even using constructed sequences that are modified to have specific adapter lengths and/or mismatch counts). This is a great way to get a feel for new tools in general. If you need more details about exactly how the algorithm works, you can read the original documentation and then if you still need help, try contacting the tool author (links at bottom of tool form). But this is a very popular, commonly used tool and what I have shared is how it is behaves to my knowledge & experience. There may not be much more to it.

3' adapter trimming using FASTX-toolkit clipper
by Hoang, Thanh 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

Hi all, I am analyzing miRNA sequencing now. My data is 51bp, single -ended and ~5 M reads. I want to remove the adapter sequences from the reads before mapping to the genomes/known miRNA database. My 3' adapter sequence is : 5-AGATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCT-3. I found that many reads only contain part of the 3' adapter sequence. I am using FASTX-toolkit to clip it off. How many bases should I put in the " Enter custom clipping sequence" ? Because in the output files, I end up with more reads when putting the whole 3 adapter sequence than putting only first 8 nt. Also, miRNA is about 17-25 nt long, I guess that the rest of the reads (51-21=30bp) must contain part or whole 5's adapter sequence or the by-product of mRNA/tRNA degradation. So I think that I have to trim the 5' adapter as well. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated Thanh

Hi Dominique, Glad that helped. And yes, you can merge many file types that are text-based with the tool 'Text Manipulation -> Concatenate datasets". Sometimes you will need to convert to format tabular first, and then back to the desired format (fasta, gtf, etc.) after. Take care, Jen Galaxy team On 9/19/13 5:51 AM, D. A.

Re: [galaxy-user] Metagenomic filtering
by Scott W. Tighe 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Dear Galaxy When running HiSeq shot metagenomics sample from the environment against megablast and taxonomic representation, How do I filter/remove all the 16s and other conserved sequences. The problem if blasting a single organism that has a fraction of conserved sequence, the results will align with E.coli 10,000 times more then the possible target organism. This data would be wrong and misleading. For example a 100mg sample that was negative for e coli using MUG test, give thousands of hits with galaxy. 1) Is there a "filter conserved sequences" setting? 2) Is there a "remove model organisms" setting?

Identifying Tags - Galaxy Question
by D. A. Cowart 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hello, I need to perform an action (or series of actions) on an 454 dataset using Galaxy, and have not been able to figure out the necessary steps, even after looking through the toolbar expressions and using custom search. My file is a fasta and has the standard format: >GNJQDEZ01A940A CTGAGTCAGGTCAACAATCATAAGATATTGGCACCATGTACCTGTGGTTCTCGTTTCC ATGTTA >GNJQDEZ01BJYQZ CTGAGTCAGGTCAACAATCATAAGACATCGGCTCTCTATATTTAATATTGGT Each of the 100,000 sequences within this file contains a specific tag, which is the first 8 nucleotides. There are 19 tags total. I would like to identify these tags and add an identifier of the tag to the sequence name. Therefore, if I am looking for the first tag (CTGAGTCA), the output would look like: >GNJQDEZ01A940A_*Tag1* *CTGAGTCA*GGTCAACAATCATAAGATATTGGCACCATGTACCTGTGGTTCTCGTTTCC ATGTTA Is it possible to achieve this using Galaxy? If possible, could you kindly suggest tools to use. Thank you in advance, Dominique Cowart

estimating galaxy on the cloud needs for RNAseq
by Elwood Linney 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Questions: I have been running sets of data for cufflinks/cuffdiff analysis on Galaxy online--I am considering using the cloud but from what I can read, because of different person's galaxy needs, I can't get an clear idea of what I would need and how long it would take to process (and the cost) if I am running weekly 4 x 16gb fastq files to 6-8 x 16gb files--one set per week Is anyone out there using the cloud exclusively for this type of analysis? And can you give me an idea of what type of cloud setup I could use? I have no idea of how much time it would take to process these on the cloud so its hard to estimate setup costs and specific requirements. Elwood Linney
