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. To help myself to explain well, here is the illustration: >From ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- | mzidLib:PostProcessing| | mzidLib:PostProcessing| | mzidLib:PostProcessing| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| | input file | ---------->| input file | ---------->| input file | |-----------------------------| | |-----------------------------| | |-----------------------------| |output (mzid) |----- |output (mzid) |----- |output (mzid) | ------------------------------- |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| To ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ | mzidLib:PostProcessing FDR| | mzidLib:PostProcessing Threshold| | mzidLib:PostProcessing ProteoGroup| |----------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| | input file | ---------->| input file | ------------>| input file | |----------------------------------| | |------------------------------------------| | |----------------------------------------------| |output (mzid) |----- |output (mzid) |----- |output (mzid) | ----------------------------------- |------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| Best regards!

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!

customize tool display in the workflow
by Jun Fan 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Dear Galaxy develop team: Normally I generate the workflow from history. It works fine except one annoying problem: the display of step/tool is just the tool name, which can cause confusion in a big workflow. For example, I have a mixture of samples from multiple species and do the BLAST against Human, Virus, Mouse etc which will call BLAST several times. To make results distinguishable, I will rename the dataset in the history. But this will be lost when creating workflow from history. The workflow will have duplicate steps named as BLAST while I really want to have steps displayed as BLAST against Human etc. Could you tell me whether I have done something wrong? If not, could you kindly add this functionality into the new release of Galaxy? If it is possible to customize the tool display in the workflow, how to write the wrapper as setting the label to allow this? Best regards! Jun

Questions about column output in Operate on genomic Intervals -> Profile Annotations

Hello, I tried using this tool today after inputting a bed file containing 1509 intervals of 100 bp each, spread across all 22 autosomes. First of all, despite the fact that my input file contained intervals for 22 chromosomes, the value of "allCoverage" seemed to be the same as the value of the coverage of that table only for chr1. I was not really sure about the tableRegionCoverage column, as for most of the autosomes I had input data spread throughout the chromsome with points a few Mb away from either end, but I was getting a value in this column only about 1/3 of what I get when downloading the data directly from UCSC and summing the interval sizes. There were also many cases where nrCoverage > allCoverage, even when I reduced each input genomic interval to only 1 bp to avoid redundancy in the input file. Based on these descriptions of the columns I would expect allCoverage >= nrCoverage at all times. Just wondering if you could clarify what these columns are supposed to mean or how to reconcile these apparent inconsistencies.

Uploading via FTP problem

Hello, I'm trying to upload some files via filezilla since Thursday and each time it fails after five or six hours of transfering and I cannot resume the transfer.. Every time I have the same errors: Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Error: Connection timed out Error: Could not connect to server Each time it failes at different point so I don't think it's related to my files. Nor to the connection to the server, for I successfully downloaded some output data from the server (4 files, one of them was 20G). Is anyone experiencing the same problem or have an opinon on what's going on? Thanks, Delong
