how to set up a microarray analysis workflow in Galaxy?
by Yury Bukhman 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi, I am new to Galaxy. My co-workers have installed a Galaxy server locally and written wrappers for a couple of command-line programs. Now I would like to implement a microarray data analysis workflow using R and Bioconductor. I imagine, it would have the following steps: 1) A user uploads a set of files that constitute a microarray experiment, e.g. a bunch of Affymetrix CEL files and a spreadsheet of information that describes experimental conditions (to be imported into the phenoData slot of a Bioconductor ExpressionSet object) 2) An R script is run to parse/normalize/summarize the data and generate and ExpressionSet object. This object is stored as a file. 3) Another R script takes the ExpressionSet as its input and does some downstream analysis using appropriate Bioconductor packages I have the following questions. My apologies if they are trivial, as I am a novice here: 1) How do I enable a non-administrative user upload a dataset that consists of multiple files, for the first step of my workflow? 2) Will Galaxy store an .RData file? 3) Are there any other issues that I should know about before I plunge into this?

September 8, 2010 Galaxy Development News Brief
by Jennifer Jackson 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

September 8, 2010 Galaxy Development News Brief http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Features/DevNewsBrief/2010_… Here are the highlights of what you will get if you perform the following upgrade: hg pull -u -r f09915c8da94 What's New New Multiple Sample Tracking Features * UI enhancements: checkboxes to select samples & select field to specify operations. * State change mechanism added for multiple samples and removed for individual samples in the sample_events page. * Enhanced sample searching implemented. Uses sample name, barcode and dataset name with menu items in masthead and admin menu. o Example of usage: new wild-card searches. New Custom Sorting in Grid Framework * Enhance grid framework to enable custom column sorting (default sorting unchanged). * Sort criteria are now mapped to a column, and the column defines the sorting to be done on the grid query. o Examples of usage: (a) case-insensitive sorting of text fields and (b) case-insensitive sorting for user names in published-item grids. New Data Format Conversion Tools * NGS: SAM Tools => BAM-to-SAM converts BAM format to SAM format * Convert Formats => Wig to bigWig converter New GFF Format Filtering Tools * Filter and Sort => GFF => Extract features from GFF file, Filter GFF file by attribute using simple expressions, Filter GFF file by feature count using simple expressions. * New Filter GFF file by feature count filters a GFF file using conditions based on transcripts' features counts. o Example of usage: filter for transcripts that have a minimum number of exons or transcripts that have 3' UTRs. Updated & Improved Data Libraries * Added support for the AddressField, CheckboxField, SelectField and WorkflowField form field types (in addition to the previously supported TextArea and TextField) to data library templates. * Inherited template fields now also inherit any field contents from the immediate "parent" of the current item (folder or dataset). * The information in our data library templates wiki at http:bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/DataLibraries/LibraryTemplates has been updated to reflect the new features and behavior. Sample Tracking: Email notifications * Notification of specific sample state changes. * Changes made to barcode scan AMQP handler to update sample state to also send email when required. * Notification to multiple recipients. * Request events history records notifications. * UI enhancements: o "edit request" page to allow users to change notification configurations. o "request" page to show the request type state, user & notification details. Jobs & related * Improved handling of metadata to optimize job processing. Includes a new user prompt to set metadata manually or retry auto-detection externally when using 'set_metadata_externally = True' . * Enhance wig datatype to only use first 100 data lines to determine column type metadata if dataset filesize exceeds max_optional_metadata_filesize as configured in datatypes_conf.xml. * Add 'NullToolOutputActionOption' to tool output dataset actions. This action option is used implicitly when no ToolOutputActionOption(s) have been defined. o Example of usage: a metadata value can be set to a static value on a per Tool Output basis. Installation and Management * Added support for installing Galaxy on systems without direct access to the Internet. Updated Galaxy Installation wiki (see section "How to get eggs: If your Galaxy server does not have Internet access" http:bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/Eggs. * When viewing library dataset information as an administrator, add a field that displays the path to the actual disk file that underlies the dataset. Trackster * Each track now has an Overview checkbox that will set the initial chromosome-wide view. * Visualizations that users own or are shared with can now be cloned. * New go-to feature allows users to redirect quickly to a specified chromosome or position. o Example of usage: "chr1:1-100,000,000". * Drag-zoom activated when a chromosomal position is clicked on. * Line tracks display mode can also now be activated inline. * Changing display mode from "Auto" now fetches additional detail data and displays features. Displays error messages in canvas elements if present. This also limits the number of features displayed per tile. General Improvements * Slight makeover to Galaxy tabs: (a) added published item links to 'Shared Data' tab; (b) standardized personal item lists as 'Saved XXXs'; and (c) added defaults action for Visualization tab. * Minor grid refactoring. * Don't re-sort BAM files on upload if already sorted (adapted from Brad Chapman patch). * Use image_path for Workflows and now display modal instead of relative paths. -- Galaxy Project Team http:usegalaxy.org http:bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central This project is supported in part by NSF, NHGRI, and the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, and The Institute for CyberScience at Penn State.

Multiple blast search
by Wong, Chloe 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, I am new to Galaxy and would like to say thanks for the very useful introduction video. I would like to map ~26,000 sequence on the human genome and I think I could possibly use Galaxy to do it. I managed to get data from the UCSC as the reference genome and have also loaded up my file containing the sequence that I would like to map. However I am unsure how I could align the two files. I thought maybe I could use the 'fetch alignment' tool to perform a blast search but don't think it worked. Can you please let me know if it's possible to use Galaxy for this job? and if so, can you give me some ideas/example of how I can achieve this? Thanks very much for your help in advance!

Fwd: [galaxy-lab] Question about Branch Lengths Estimation
by Guruprasad Ananda 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi Melissa, So looks like you'll have to use 'N' as a masking character instead of #. You can either rerun quality masking on your alignments or do the following to convert your #s to Ns in your masked fasta files. 1. Convert fasta to tabular 2. Use 'Text manipulation -> Compute' tool on the tabular file from step(1) to convert #s to Ns, using the following expression: c2.replace(chr(35),"N") 3. Convert output of step(2) to Fasta using 'Convert formats -> Tabular-to-FASTA' tool with c1 as title column and c3 as sequence column. Thanks, Guru.

Question about Branch Lengths Estimation
by Melissa A. Wilson Sayres 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi there, I am trying to use the tool Branch Lengths Estimation under the Evolution heading. I have a pairwise alignment - (hg18,panTro2), but when I try to run the tool, using the HKY85 model on my FASTA formatted alignment, I get nothing in the output. It doesn't give an error, but instead gives: 143: Branch Lengths on data 120 <http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history> empty, format: tabular, database:hg18 Info: Single Alignment Analyses Any ideas?

Moving Histories from old to new Galaxy build
by Lucilla Luzi 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi all. We are moving from an old version of Galaxy (build: 1349) to the current one; we know there is a big gap in between Im wondering if there is a way to move in just one unpainful step all the saved histories from the old version to the new one, or alternatively to download/save entire histories at once from the old and then reload them to the new build. Any other ideas? Thank you a lot for your help! Lucilla
