Please use the new documentation url https://docs.rc.uab.edu/ for all Research Computing documentation needs.


As a result of this move, we have deprecated use of this wiki for documentation.

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. Documentation on the UAB installation can be found on the UAB Galaxy wiki.

Galaxy@UAB

The UAB Galaxy instance can be accessed at http://galaxy.uabgrid.uab.edu using BlazerID credentials. The https/ssl access will be available soon. The UAB Galaxy instance is using revision 50e249442c5a from the upstream galaxy repository.

Temporary Protocol for moving large sequence files (>2GB) to UAB's galaxy instance (or very large numbers of files).

Hardware

Behind the scenes the Galaxy server at UAB is powered by Cheaha cluster.

Datasets

Adding New Datasets

In order to add a new data set, a series of dependent files must be created and configured. The configuration files are located in or under:

  • /share/apps/galaxy/galaxy-latest

The dependent files should be located in or under:

  • /lustre/project/public_datasets

Some of the older data sets are still located in or under:

  • /lustre/project/galaxy/public_dataset

FASTA File

Download your FASTA file (doing any conversions needed) and place the file in: /lustre/project/public_datasets/primary/ORGANISM/ORGANISM.fa

Directory Creation

  • mkdir /lustre/project/public_datasets/primary/sacCer2
  • cd /lustre/project/public_datasets/primary/sacCer2
  • wget http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/sacCer2/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz
  • tar xzvf chromFa.tar.gz
  • cat chr*.fa 2micron.fa > sacCer2.fa
  • mkdir /lustre/project/public_datasets/derived/sacCer2
  • cd /lustre/project/public_datasets/derived/sacCer2
  • mkdir bowtie
  • mkdir bowtie/color
  • mkdir bowtie/base
  • mkdir bwa
  • mkdir perm
  • mkdir sam
