does galaxy support the UCSC data points format?
by Mikhail Spivakov 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if galaxy understands the UCSC data points format (for example, the one produced by exporting phastcons17way scores. All I managed to do so far is import these data into galaxy, but I couldn't find any supported operations for this format. It would be very useful, for example, if galaxy could convert these data into genomic intervals using a user-defined threshold (eg, extract regions with phastcons scores > 0.5) - but maybe it can already do it and I just don't know how?

by Erick Antezana 01 Apr '09

Hello, is there a tool or an intelligent way to add an conditional execution of a step within a workflow? and as an extension of such tool/feature I would be interested in just executing for instance a particular brach of my workflow (depending on a condition from a previous step)... thanks, Erick

change_format
by SHAUN WEBB 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, I am using the <change_format> tag to decide on the appropriate output file format based on user input. eg: <param name="format" type="select" label="Format" > ...... ...... <data format="txt" name="out" > <change_format> <when input="format" value="tabular" format="tabular" /> </change_format> This works fine except when the input parameter is nested in a <conditional> tag. <conditional name="fileType"> <param name="format" type="select" label="Format" > Usually I would reference this as fileType.format, $fileType.format, ${fileType.format}, but this doesn't seem to work in the input attribute of <when>. Can anyone help me out? Thanks Shaun Webb -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

Workflows: Naming files
by Alastair Kerr 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi, is there a way (or is there a feature planned) that allows a users to name/label files in a workflow? The issue is that for larger workflows that generate many files, it can be a bit onerous to work out what each file is from the history. The ability to clearly label them as part of the workflow or indeed hide/delete intermediate files would be a huge advantage. thanks - Alastair -- Alastair Kerr, Ph.D., Bioinformatician, Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, 2.21, Michael Swann Building, Kings buildings, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH9 3JR, UK Tel: 44-(0)131-650-7527 http://bifx1.bio.ed.ac.uk/ The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

zoom in/out in workflows
by Erick Antezana 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Hi, We are dealing with workflows with about 40 steps and sometimes it is not easy to visualise them or simply work with them due to the complexity of links among the steps.....Is it possible to zoom in/out the workflows view? If not, would it be possible to consider such feature in future developments? thanks! Erick

Hello, When importing MAF file, local galaxy install loads the data but shows an error: No data: global name 'bx' is not defined When I tried to convert maf to fasta, I got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/rochak/galaxy_latest/lib/galaxy/datatypes/converters/maf_to_fasta_converter.py", line 7, in import bx.align.maf File "/home/rochak/galaxy_latest/eggs/py2.5-linux-x86_64-ucs2/bx_python-0.5.0_dev_r459-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/bx/align/__init__.py", line 7, in File "/home/rochak/galaxy_latest/eggs/py2.5-linux-x86_64-ucs2/bx_python-0.5.0_dev_r459-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/bx/align/core.py", line 8, in File "/home/rochak/galaxy_latest/eggs/py2.5-linux-x86_64-ucs2/bx_python-0.5.0_dev_r459-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/bx/misc/__init__.py", line 5, in ImportError: No module named bz2 Does galaxy install bx_python in its initial setup? /home/rochak/galaxy_latest/eggs/py2.5-linux-x86_64-ucs2/bx_python-0.5.0_dev_r459-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg is a file, not a directory.

Re: [galaxy-user] [Gmod-help] GMOD and Galaxy

Hi Rashad, GBrowse is currently the only other GMOD component that Galaxy talks to. There has been discussion in the past about getting it work with Chado as well, but there hasn't yet been sufficient interest to justify that work. I'm forwarding this e-mail to the Galaxy-user list in case I'm wrong about that. Documentation on how to get Galaxy and GBrowse to talk with one another is at: http://gmod.org/wiki/GBrowse_Configuration_HOWTO#Track_Sharing_Options There may be more doc at the Galaxy web site. Please let me know if this does not answer your questions. Regards, Dave C. GMOD Help Desk Was this helpful?
