Galaxy

Overview

The UAB Galaxy platform for experimental biology and comparative genomics designed to help you analyze multiple alignments, compare genomic annotations, profile metagenomic samples and more from your web browser. This platform is built on Galaxy, backed by the Cheaha compute cluster, and powered by UABgrid.

The primary uses of UAB Galaxy are to provide a simple web interface for NGS (short read sequencing) analysis for genomic and transcriptomic datasets, using tools like BWA, Bowtie, Tophat and Cufflinks, as well as simple sequence manipulation via the EMBOSS toolkit.

Using Galaxy / Tutorials

There are numerous general tutorials online at the Penn State public Galaxy site that are worth looking at.

There are also several UAB tutorials on NGS Analysis with Galaxy, created for HPC Boot Camp 2011 and a nice talk by Jeremy Goecks during Research Computing Day 2011.

Support

UAB galaxy-help list-serv: [1] to contact admins of the UAB galaxy instance.

Privacy

Note that your data will be stored on the cluster filesystem, and while not accessible to ordinary users, it can be easily accessed by any of the galaxy or cluster administrators. It is not encrypted. Do not store sensitive information in this system.

Galaxy@UAB

The UAB Galaxy instance can be accessed at https://galaxy.uabgrid.uab.edu using BlazerID credentials. No account on the cluster is needed. However, the tools installed for galaxy (BWA, etc) can be accessed via the command line if you have an account on the cluster.

Available Tools

Following is a partial list highlighting some of the important tools available. Additional tools can be installed upon request. To search for tools already integrated into the Galaxy system, see the Galaxy ToolShed.

Software	Version	Information
bwa	0.5.9-r26	Align genomic short reads to a reference genome
bowtie	0.12.7	Align genomic short reads to a reference genome
samtools	0.1.12a	Alignment (SAM/BAM file) manipulations
velvet	1.1.03	Denovo Assembly
Top Hat	1.4.0	Align transcriptome short reads to a reference genome
Cuff Links	1.3.0	Reconstruct and quantify transcript levels from tophat alignments.
EMBOSS	6.3.1	European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite - sequence manipulation and format conversion

Installed Genome Indexes

You can always use your own genome by uploading the .fasta into your history, but alignments against installed (pre-indexed) genomes run much more quickly. If you need an additional genome installed, please contact [2].
