[galaxy-user] Question about plotting circos plot

2012-03-06 Thread shamsher jagat
I wonder if is it possible to visualize mutation data in circular plot
termed as circos plot e.g
 @http://www.eurekalert.org/multimedia/pub/31019.php?from=181881

Any suggestion for an alternative tool will also be appreciated.


Thanks

Shamsher

Re: [galaxy-user] 'compare two datasets script'?

2012-03-06 Thread Jennifer Jackson

Hi Ken,

This tool is a wrapper around the unix utility called "join". In the 
Galaxy source, it has two components, the XML definition for the tool form:

http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/c2a2ae70c051/tools/filters/compare.xml

And the wrapped utility itself:
http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/c2a2ae70c051/tools/filters/joinWrapper.py

But, if you have access to the a unix line command, then you can just 
use the join command directly. Before using join, you must first use 
another utility called sort.


The steps are:
1 - sort both files on the columns that you will be joining on
2 - join the files on those columns

A google search will find many examples for these tools.
These links are particularly friendly:
http://www.computerhope.com/unix/ujoin.htm
http://www.computerhope.com/unix/usort.htm

Best wishes for your project,

Re: [galaxy-user] Advice on disabling SGE queue on galaxy-cloudman

2012-03-06 Thread Enis Afgan
Hi John,
Theoretically, this is a straightforward task but in reality CloudMan
gets in the way of making it stick. Namely, if you are to manually
remove the master instance from being an execution host, CloudMan will
add it back in the next time a node is added or removed from the
cluster, thus negating your manual modification.
So, I will add this feature to CloudMan itself but I cannot commit to
a date right now. It should be soon though.

In the mean time, if you'd like to script this yourself via an add-hoc
solution that runs periodically, below is the procedure for manually
removing a node from SGE's execution host list:
ubuntu@ip-10-204-170-63:~$ sudo -s
root@ip-10-204-170-63:~# qhost
HOSTNAMEARCH NCPU  LOAD  MEMTOT  MEMUSE  SWAPTO  SWAPUS
---
global  -   - -   -   -   -   -
ip-10-204-170-63lx24-amd64  1  1.11  615.2M  161.6M 0.0 0.0
# Remove the host from the list of execution hosts
root@ip-10-204-170-63:~# qconf -de ip-10-204-170-63
Host object "ip-10-204-170-63" is still referenced in cluster queue "all.q".
# Edit the configuration of allhosts and remove the host in question.
If this is the only host in the list, replace it's name with word NONE
root@ip-10-204-170-63:~# qconf -mhgrp "@allhosts"
root@ip-10-204-170-63.ec2.internal modified "@allhosts" in host group list
# Show configuraiton of group allhosts
root@ip-10-204-170-63:~# qconf -shgrp "@allhosts"
group_name @allhosts
hostlist NONE
# The hos is now removed from the list of execution hosts
root@ip-10-204-170-63:~# qstat -f
root@ip-10-204-170-63:~#

Re: [galaxy-user] Cufflink not working

2012-03-06 Thread Jennifer Jackson

Hi Ateequr,

I sent you a reply for this question when you asked me directly last 
week, but perhaps this got missed. The mapping step for you data is OK. 
The problem comes up when Cufflinks is used with the bacterial 
(circular) genome with your current parameter settings.


As I mentioned, there has been some limited discussion about RNA-seq 
tools and parameters for circular genomes on this mailing list, but we 
recommended seqanswers.com or the tool authors as the best resources for 
this specific type of analysis advice.

Re: [galaxy-user] Tophat "Mean Inner Distance between Mate Pairs"

2012-03-06 Thread Carlos Borroto
Hi Jiwen,

This is a subject that has me very confused too. This thread at
seqanswer didn't help much either:
http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8730

But it does have some good comments on the subject.

I did try using the two possible options I can think of:
fragment length - pair end read length - adaptor length

And:
fragment length - pair end read length

With the latter I get around 10% increase on properly paired reads. I
wonder if Tophat internally takes into account the adapters.

Still, it would be nice to get a definitive answer in this subject.

Carlos

[galaxy-user] Tophat "Mean Inner Distance between Mate Pairs"

2012-03-06 Thread 杨继文
Hi all,
 
When mapping pair end RNA-seq reads using tophat, we need to type in "Mean 
Inner Distance between Mate Pairs".  In galaxy, we can read the following 
information:
This is the expected (mean) inner distance between mate pairs. For, example, 
for paired end runs with fragments
 selected at 300bp, where each end is 50bp, you should set -r to be 200. There 
is no default, and this parameter
 is required for paired end runs.
I think the size of fragment (here 300bp) includes not only the length of pair 
end reads, but also the length of adaptors. so, maybe the Mean Inner Distance 
between Mate Pairs should be : fragment length - pair end read length - adaptor 
length. Am I right? or did I miss something?  
Is it a must to type in the accurate value?
Looking forward to your reply

Re: [galaxy-user] Variable number of inputs in Workflow (or optional inputs)

2012-03-06 Thread Jennifer Jackson

Hi Daniel,

My apologies! I misunderstood what your question was about.

You are correct, the required inputs are defined when the workflow is 
created. For tools that accept a variable number of inputs, when that 
tool is added to a workflow, the run-time parameters, including expected 
inputs, are defined.


Did you have a particular tool in mind? We can ask Dannon for some 
suggestions/comments if you want to share your ideas about how this sort 
of processing would flow.


I am glad you wrote back. Please send more details if you want and we 
can try to offer more (better!) help,


Best,

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for the reply.
However, my question was not about building tools.
My question was about building a workflow (using the workflow editor
with existing tools), as a user of galaxy.

Using the workflow editor, when I create a workflow using a tool that
allows a variable number of inputs, it seems that I have to define the
number of inputs during workflow creation and not when I run the
workflow.
I was just asking if it would be feasible to have a variable number of
inputs (only defined when a running instance of a workflow is created).
It feels to me that the answer is no.

Thanks again,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Examining existing tools that have multiple/optional inputs can be a
good way to see how this is done. One example is the tool: "NGS: QC
and manipulation ->  Manipulate FASTQ".

The 'Manipulate FASTQ' tool source is here:
http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/e58a87c91bc4/tools/fastq/

fastq_manipulation.py
fastq_manipulation.xml

The tool tag set is defined in this wiki;

See,, and  for more details and examples.

Questions about tools are best sent to the galaxy-...@bx.psu.edu

I wanted to build a workflow where the first step would be a tool that
can have a variable number of inputs (e.g. a series).
It seems that I need to predefine apriori the number of inputs to give
to the tool.

Is there a way to define the number of inputs at runtime?
E.g. a series-like input?

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: [galaxy-user] Variable number of inputs in Workflow (or optional inputs)

2012-03-06 Thread Daniel Sobral
Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for the reply.
However, my question was not about building tools.
My question was about building a workflow (using the workflow editor 
with existing tools), as a user of galaxy.

Using the workflow editor, when I create a workflow using a tool that 
allows a variable number of inputs, it seems that I have to define the 
number of inputs during workflow creation and not when I run the 
workflow.
I was just asking if it would be feasible to have a variable number of 
inputs (only defined when a running instance of a workflow is created). 
It feels to me that the answer is no.

Thanks again,
Daniel
