Re: [galaxy-user] Questions regarding Circster visualization

2014-02-11 Thread Jeremy Goecks
 1. I tested it using a bigWig and a BED file. Both were loaded nicely in 
 Circos, but I was surprised to see that the visualization of both files 
 looked exactly the same, i.e. both file types seemed to be interpreted as 
 histograms/coverage data. From the Circos plots I've seen in publications, I 
 assumed that BED files should be visualized as straight lines, indicating 
 genome regions (rather than a coverage). Am I doing anything wrong? Or, 
 rather, how should I modify the BED file so that its content is simply 
 interpreted as genomic regions?

This is a limitation of the visualization, and it should be addressed. I've 
created a Trello card for this enhancement that you follow here: 
https://trello.com/c/YIdx6QvV

 2. In the Galaxy publication (www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/397), line 
 data is mentioned for displaying connecting lines in the center of the 
 circle - could you give me an example line of how this kind of data needs to 
 be formatted?

The format is a 7-column tabular file with tab-separated values:

--
chrom1 start1 end1 chrom2 start2 end2 score
--

Score isn't used right now, but it still needs to be there. Once you have this 
format, you'll need to convert the datatype from 'tabular' to 'chrint' in order 
to visualize it (click on the pencil icon -- Datatype. Also, I have a workflow 
up to convert Tophat fusion output data to chrint format here:

 https://usegalaxy.org/u/jeremy/w/tophat-fusion-post-output-to-chrint 

Sorry for the cryptic nature of everything right now. We'll get this info and 
more up on a wiki page eventually (you're welcome to start one in the 
meantime). Let us know if you have more questions.

Best,
J.

Re: [galaxy-user] Help with Cuffdiff

2014-02-11 Thread Jennifer Jackson

Hi Maria,

I didn't notice any obvious problematic usage, format, or content issues 
with the Tuxedo pipeline execution in your history. Your protocol is 
right on track. This leaves data and parameter inputs to consider.


I did notice that you are mainly using defaults and omitting the use of 
reference annotation that Cuffdiff uses to generate the full compliment 
of statistics.


The NOTEST result indicates that the coverage is too shallow. You 
could follow the advice here, by adjusting -c to be lower. This is 
Min Alignment Count: and is set to 10 in your runs.

http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/faq.html#notest

Adding in a reference annotation file could also potentially help. 
Aligned sequences may be falsely fragmenting without a reference 
transcript to help bind them together. But, this is just a guess - I 
didn't examine any assembly regions. This is however something that you 
could do. The UCSC Table Browser is one source for a GTF file.


Experimenting with other parameters as you are doing also is worth it. 
The manual and such cover these in detail, and there is always the tool 
author's google group for detailed questions/advice.


Good luck with your project,

Jen

Hello,

Thank you for your help. I have found that wiki page very helpful and 
actually us it very often (I was using it this AM too before I emailed 
you). In looking at the wiki again, nothing is really standing out to 
me ( my chromosome notation matches up etc). I am going to keep 
looking etc but I did send you my history too. I did try running 
another cuffdiff playing with the dispersion estimation method too out 
of curiosity.


Thank you so much for your help! This is my first real data set doing 
this and we have abstracts due soon, so the pressure is on!


Thanks!
Maria
