Help with Summary Statistics
by D. A. Cowart 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hello, I am attempting to use Galaxy to calculate the mean sequence read length and identify the range of read lengths for my 454 data. The data has already been organized and sorted by species. The format of the data is as follows: >HD4AU5D01BHBCQCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTC >HD4AU5D01A093MCTCTGTCGCTCTGTCTCTCTTCTCTCTCTCTCTCTCT etc...for each species I have attempted to use the "Summary Statistics" button, however it appears to only be for numerical data and not sequence data. Is this tool/task available via Galaxy? Thank you, Dominique Cowart User name: dac330

When will megablast be working again
by Scott W. Tighe 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Dear NCBI and Galaxy Team I have sent a note to determine when the Megablast option will be active again. Whether you use Galaxy or NCBI directly, it is inoperative.

Megablast database identity
by Scott W. Tighe 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Jennifer I am megablasting a simple 500,000 line dataset that is certainly in galaxy fasta. For a week i have been seeing numerous errors. So i have reprocesed the data multiple times. The error message is "could not find specified database directory" Is there an alternative approach? I did try ncbi directly and that failed too. They say they have a database issue Scott Tighe Core Laboratory Research Staff Advanced Genome Technologies Core Deep Sequencing (MPS) Facility Vermont Cancer Center 149 Beaumont Ave University of Vermont HSRF 303 Burlington Vermont USA 05045 802-656-AGTC 802-999-6666 (cell)

"Intersect multiple sorted BED files" / tool-data/shared/ucsc/chrom/genome_test.len) could not be opened
by Sarah Maman 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello, I try to use "Intersect multiple sorted BED files" tool without success. A genome_test have been added in galaxy (genome_test.len in galaxy-dist/tool-data/shared/ucsc/chrom/, .fa and .dict added in .loc fils in tool-data/) but "Intersect multiple sorted BED files" gives this error message : An error occurred running this job: /Epilog : job finished at lun. mars 24 15:55:04 CET 2014 Error: The requested genome file (/..../galaxy-dist/tool-data/shared/ucsc/chrom/genome_test.len) could not be opened. Exiting! So, /I have integrated the code modification submitted in Galaxy Central (https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/7105c53139d4b8649e6a371…) - chrom_info = os.path.join( trans.app.config.tool_data_path, 'shared','ucsc','chrom', "%s.len" % input_dbkey ) + chrom_info = os.path.join( trans.app.config.len_file_path, "%s.len" % input_dbkey ) But I always have the same error message. Could you please help us ?

BioStar integration - merging accounts
by Peter Cock 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hi all, I see that https://biostar.usegalaxy.org is live now, with lots of content mined from the galaxy-user mailing list (which may or may not result in this email starting a new question? We shall see...). Is it possible for an admin to merge accounts? e.g. there are all me: https://biostar.usegalaxy.org/u/333/ - old ISP based email address https://biostar.usegalaxy.org/u/337/ - old ISP based email address https://biostar.usegalaxy.org/u/394/ - my Google mail address Thanks, Peter
