Galaxy 101 tutorial
I'm working my way through the Galaxy 101 tutorial. I've run into a discrepancy when trying to "Get Data" from the USC Main table browser. When trying to follow directions and choose the group, "variations and repeats," it doesn't exist. I can choose variations OR I can choose repeats. This makes several of the results not come out exactly as it shows they should and it makes steps further on in the tutorial confusing. For me to get the correct tutorial results, which should I choose? Variations or repeats? It may be that the tutorial was updated at some point but the tutorial directions and pictures were not. I hope I've posted this in the correct mailing list... Sincerely, Carrie Sent from my iPhone
Hello Carrie, Yes. UCSC changed the way that they organized their track groups, breaking out Variation and Repeats into two distinct categories. When doing the Table browser query, simply pick "Variation" (instead of "Variation and Repeats") from the group drop down menu. The dbSNP track will be there. You mention that the results are slightly different - this is fine and was already true. One of the datasets in the tutorial updates nightly and the other every 2-3 months or so. Just use the most current versions available and follow the instructions of how to do the analysis, the exact numbers in the result will be the answer for the given inputs. The goal of the tutorial is a general introduction to Galaxy - obtaining data from external sources, using tools to manipulate, creating a working, learning to share. Let us know if you have any other problems. Best, Jen Galaxy team On 4/20/14 6:11 PM, Carrie Gaut wrote:
