Hi I wonder how I can quantitatively visualize expression of a gene/transcript which has a significant p-value/q value from splicing differential testing from Cuffdiff analysis? I tried track browser in GALAXY and UCSC genome browser and none of them really provide a quantitative analysis of gene/transcript expression from Cuffdiff results.

Please see the attached screen shot from using Browser in GALAXY for viewing results of Tophat. What do those numbers mean? Is there any way to adjust Y-axis to have the bar taller so it will be easier to see?

Histories and Libraries can be navigated, selected, then individual datasets selected and loaded. 6 - default view for BAM datasets a coverage histogram. 7 - adding more tracks and other functions can be performed by using the left menu "Actions" on the GTB interface. Be sure to use "Save" before navigating away if you want to use the same browser again. If datasets are not available to add to a browser, then likely there is a mismatch between the browser's reference database and the database assigned to the dataset. In some cases this can and should be adjusted (perhaps database was unassigned after an analysis). The SAM file can also be converted to interval, then BED format for visualization, but BAM is the most direct route and preserves the sequence content when zoomed in at the base level. Hopefully this helps you and others to learn more about the GTB. This tool is under active development. Screencasts and more example documentation is on the way soon to offer more help.

Jen, thank you for following up on my question. Is any tool in GALAXY to visualize the coverage of aligned reads from TopHat on human chromosomes (histogram or density plot)?

Hi Tao,
I made an error in my prior reply, it is possible to guide assembly in TopHat. To do this, on the TopHat form, change "TopHat settings to use:"
from "Use Defaults" to "Full parameter list". In the expanded form:
1 - change "Use Own Junctions:" to be "yes". 2 - change "Use Gene Annotation Model:" to be "yes" 3 - in the new pull-down menu, select the GTF file from your history
Great question! Glad that we were able to provide you with the correct instruction,
Best,
Jen Galaxy team

Hello Tao,
Sorry for the delayed reply, your question did not post to the mailing list since the "to" was not _only_ to galaxy-user.
Going forward, please leave off any "to" or "cc" to team members when asking a question. Send all questions directly "to" "galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu" and do not include any "Re" or "Fwd" text in the subject line.
Regarding RNA-seq analysis and reference GTF files, the place to incorporate the GTF file is in the Cufflinks step, the option to select the GTF file from your history is on the tool's form. If you have questions about the tools that are not addressed by these help links:
http://usegalaxy.org/u/jeremy/p/transcriptome-analysis-faq http://usegalaxy.org/u/jeremy/p/galaxy-rna-seq-analysis-exercise
then contacting the tool authors would be the next step: email tophat.cufflinks@gmail.com
To visualize the data, the available options will be links associated with each dataset (expand the dataset box to locate these). The Galaxy Track Browser (GTB) aka "Trackster", UCSC Genome Browser, Ensembl, and GeneTrack are potential options; the datatype will determine which

Hi how can I specify a GTF gene annotation file when running tophat to guide the alignment to human genome? What is the best way to visualize the tophat results in the context of annotated human genome, i.e. RefSeq?
Thanks,
tao
