Hello I am a relatively new user on Galaxy and I had a question regarding "Fetching Taxonomic Information". It is great that I can retrieve all of the hits for each sequence, but I cannot seem to find an option to also provide how accurate of a match it is to the given taxon. For instance, a percentage match. I can access this information in the original file and programmatically retrieve it but, it would be nice if it came in one package so that I can avoide those false hits that have a low percentage match. Can you please provide me with instructions on how to best to retrieve this information (hopefully in a single file)? Thank you Vincent
Vincent Great question!!! And a follow up for me, is how to purge the conserved sequences. Presently the current data set I have from "Fetch" is likely to be 99% composed of incorrect taxon just because of conserved sequence. So, how do you select just unique sequences (ie those that do not have more then... say 5 hits above 99%). Any advice would be nice. Our bioinformatic person said there was a way to do it thru blast X.

Hi John, Can you expand on that with a specific example (ideally on the galaxy-dev list, CC'd, since BLAST+ isn't event available on the public galaxy)? Also which version of BLAST+ are you using since I recall some changes to the tabular output IDs prior to 2.2.25 (which is what the wrappers were tested on, I've not tried 2.2.26 yet). Thanks, Peter
Dear GALAXY and Jennifer Although the windshield analysis papers were good starters, They do not address conversed sequence purging or how to get at this information. If anyone has an automated approach I'd be interested .

Hi Scott, There isn't a specific tool to do this filtering in one step, but tools similar to those used in the in the Windshield analysis can be used again. Starting with " Parse blast XML output" results (this tool is on the Galaxy main server), calculate percent coverage (of the query) and percent identify using " <http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/root/tool_menu#>Text Manipulation -> Compute" from the output. Then, once you have the query, percent identify, and percent coverage, the data can be filtered any way that you would like using tools in "Text Manipulation", "Filter and Sort", and "Join, Subtract and Group". You will likely want to start with a "Filter and Sort -> Select" step to subset the data to be only those alignments that you consider part of your conserved criteria (for example: >99% identity and >90% coverage). On that result, count up the occurrence of each query identifier using "Join, Subtract and Group -> Group". Next, use "Select" again to isolate only those identifiers with the frequency (4?) that you choose as part of your conserved criteria. This result will be your list of identifiers for conserved sequences. As a final step, remove all hits associated with these conserved sequences from the original BLAST output. Using the tool "Join, Subtract and Group -> Compare two Datasets", set dataset 1 to be the original BLAST output and dataset 2 to be the list of conserved sequences (from the above processing). The columns for both will be sequence identifiers, and the option will be "To find:" -> "Non Matching rows of 1st dataset". There are likely other ways to do this same procedure, and any process that you work out could be put into a workflow for later use. Hopefully this process work for you or leads you to a process that does for your particular analysis. The tools in these groups can be combined in many ways to produce unique manipulations.

Hello Vincent, For "percentage match", there are two interpretations. 1) what percent of your total data matches a particular taxonomic group 2) what percent (coverage/identity) of a query sequence matches a target "hit", leading to a taxonomic assignment For #1: The other tools in the group "Metagenomic analyses" all accept "Fetch taxonomic representation" output as input, and produce various summary, graphical, and statistical information. Please give these tools a try for. On these tool forms, the "Fetch taxonomic representation" tool is referred to as "Taxonomy manipulation->Fetch Taxonomic Ranks", as I noted in my prior email. This is a legacy naming related to the prior publication, and we apologize if this still caused confusion. This should probably be updated, I will bring it up with the team. For #2: I sent instructions to Scott Tighe this morning with one example of how to use individual tools to select, sort, group, and filter data. http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-user/2012-March/004349.html While the details for your analysis may differ, the basic tool set will probably be the same for your project. Filtering data by alignment quality prior to "Fetch Taxonomic Representation" was also part of the Metagenomics example in the publication we shared. The idea is to start with the parsed BLAST output, generate statistics, filter and group data based on those results, then go forward with Taxonomic assignments. There are no automated tools for this process, in a single step. Hopefully this helps to clear up the tool set, Best, Jen Galaxy team On 3/13/12 2:49 PM, Montoya, Vincent wrote:
