Hi Jen,

Thanks again.

Just to make it clear: if all the options are not present on galaxy but only some of them, does this mean that the absent ones have been set by galaxy dev? are these to be considered best settings not worth changing? I would like to learn a bit more and “play” with all options but if some of them wont affect the final reaults then is not worth changing them.

Thanks,

Irene

Subject: Tophat/Cuff parameters

Hello,

Yes, this is correct, not all parameters can be adjusted in the UI. Many can, especially with Tophat, but not all. The list of implemented parameters that will match the documentation is listed at the bottom of each of these tools. The UI form itself up top may have a slightly different human readable name, but most will include the parameter name "-r", etc.

To see all of the parameters on the forms:
1. Tophat/2 - open "TopHat settings to use: Full parameter list"
2. Cufflinks/merge/compare/diff - open or modify any listed on form to see full content

This tool is in the Tool Shed (http://usegalaxy.org/toolshed), so if you had programming resource available, then these could certainly be modified. Development questions can go do the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list, but really the best place to start is in our wiki:
http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/ToolConfigSyntax
http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Tool%20Shed

It would be really helpful if you sent questions directly to the galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu mailing list going forward.
Thanks,

Jen
