MACS21: Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS 2.1.0)
=====================================================

Galaxy tool wrapper for the MACS 2.1.0 ChIP-seq peak calling program. MACS has been
developed by Tao Lui
https://github.com/taoliu/MACS/

The reference for MACS is:

Automated installation
======================

Installation via the Galaxy Tool Shed will take of installing the tool wrapper and
the MACS 2.1.0 program.

Manual Installation
===================

There are two files to install:

- ``macs21_wrapper.xml`` (the Galaxy tool definition)
- ``macs21_wrapper.py.sh`` (the Python script wrapper)

The suggested location is in a ``tools/macs21/`` folder. You will then
need to modify the ``tools_conf.xml`` file to tell Galaxy to offer the tool
by adding the line:

    <tool file="macs21/macs21_wrapper.xml" />

You will also need to install MACS 2.1.0:

- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MACS2

and ensure that it's on your Galaxy user's ``PATH`` when running the tool.

If you want to run the functional tests, copy the sample test files under
sample test files under Galaxy's ``test-data/`` directory. Then:

    ./run_tests.sh -id macs2_wrapper

(However there are no tests defined at present.)

History
=======

This tool is based on the ``modencode-dcc`` MACS2 tool developed by Ziru Zhou
(ziruzhou@gmail.com), specifically the ``16:14f378e35191`` revision of the
tool at

- http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/modencode-dcc/macs2 

It has been substantially modified both to adapt it to MACS 2.1.0, and to
re-implement the internal workings of the tool to conform with current practices
in invoking commands from Galaxy.

Developers
==========

This tool is developed on the following GitHub repository:
https://github.com/fls-bioinformatics-core/galaxy-tools/tree/master/macs21

For making the "Galaxy Tool Shed" http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ tarball I use
the ``package_macs21_wrapper.sh`` script.
