0 | 1 pal_finder: find microsatellite repeats and design PCR primers |
2 ============================================================== | |
3 | |
4 Galaxy tool wrapper for the pal_finder microsatellite and PCR primer design script. | |
5 | |
6 Automated installation | |
7 ====================== | |
8 | |
9 Installation via the Galaxy Tool Shed will take of installing the tool wrapper and | |
3 | 10 the pal_finder and primer3_core programs (plus additional dependencies), and setting |
11 the appropriate environment variables. | |
0 | 12 |
13 Manual Installation | |
14 =================== | |
15 | |
3 | 16 There are three files to install: |
0 | 17 |
18 - ``pal_finder_wrapper.xml`` (the Galaxy tool definition) | |
19 - ``pal_finder_wrapper.sh`` (the shell script wrapper) | |
3 | 20 - ``pal_finder_filter_and_assembly.py`` (filtering utility) |
0 | 21 |
22 The suggested location is in a ``tools/pal_finder_wrapper/`` folder. You will then | |
23 need to modify the ``tools_conf.xml`` file to tell Galaxy to offer the tool | |
5 | 24 by adding the line:: |
0 | 25 |
26 <tool file="pal_finder/pal_finder_wrapper.xml" /> | |
27 | |
28 You will also need to install the pal_finder and primer3 packages: | |
29 | |
30 - ``pal_finder`` can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/palfinder/ | |
31 - ``Primer3`` version 2.0.0-alpha (see the pal_finder installation notes) can be | |
32 obtained from http://primer3.sourceforge.net/releases.php | |
33 | |
3 | 34 Additionally the filtering script needs ``BioPython`` and the ``PANDASeq`` program: |
35 | |
36 - ``BioPython`` can be obtained from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/b/biopython/ | |
37 - ``PANDASeq`` version 2.8.1 can be obtained from https://github.com/neufeld/pandaseq/ | |
38 | |
39 The tool wrapper must be able to locate the ``pal_finder_v0.02.04.pl`` script, the | |
40 example pal_finder ``config.txt`` and ``simple.ref`` data files, and the | |
41 ``primer3_core`` program - the locations of these are taken from the following | |
42 enviroment variables which you will need to set manually: | |
0 | 43 |
44 - ``PALFINDER_SCRIPT_DIR``: location of the pal_finder Perl script (defaults to /usr/bin) | |
45 - ``PALFINDER_DATA_DIR``: location of the pal_finder data files (specifically config.txt | |
46 and simple.ref; defaults to /usr/share/pal_finder_v0.02.04) | |
47 - ``PRIMER3_CORE_EXE``: name of the primer3_core program, which should include the | |
48 full path if it's not on the Galaxy user's PATH (defaults to primer3_core) | |
49 | |
50 If you want to run the functional tests, copy the sample test files under | |
5 | 51 sample test files under Galaxy's ``test-data/`` directory. Then:: |
0 | 52 |
53 ./run_tests.sh -id microsat_pal_finder | |
54 | |
55 You will need to have set the environment variables above. | |

66 ``PRIMER_PRODUCT_RANGE_SIZE``. |
8 | 67 0.02.04.5 - Update to handle large output files which can sometimes be generated |
68 by the ``pal_finder_v0.02.04.pl`` or ``pal_filter.py`` scripts (logs | |
69 of hundreds of Gb's have been observed in production): log files | |
70 longer than 500 lines are now truncated to avoid downstream problems. | |
5 | 71 0.02.04.4 - Update to the filter script (``pal_filter.py``) which removes some |
72 columns from the output assembly file. | |
3 | 73 0.02.04.3 - Update to the Illumina filtering script from Graeme Fox (including |
74 new option to run ``PANDASeq`` assembly/QC steps), and corresponding | |
75 update to the tool; add support for input FASTQs to be a dataset | |
76 collection pair. | |
2 | 77 0.02.04.2 - Fix bug that causes tool to fail when prefix includes spaces; |
78 add explicit dependency on Perl 5.16.3. | |
0 | 79 0.02.04.1 - Add option to run Graeme Fox's ``pal_finder_filter.pl`` script to |
80 filter and sort the pal_finder output (Illumina input data only). | |
81 Update version number to reflect the pal_finder version. | |
82 0.0.6 - Allow input data to be either Illumina paired-end data in fastq | |
83 format or single-end 454 data in fasta format. | |
84 0.0.5 - Allow custom mispriming library to be specified; added | |
85 ``tool_dependencies.xml`` file to install pal_finder and primer3 | |
86 programs and configure environment for Galaxy automatically. | |
87 0.0.4 - Added more custom options for primer3_core for selecting primers on | |
88 size, GC and melting temperature criteria. | |
89 0.0.3 - Check that pal_finder script & config file, and primer3_core | |
90 executable are all available; move PRIMER_MIN_TM parameter to new | |
91 "custom" section for primer3 settings | |
92 0.0.2 - Updated pal_finder_wrapper.sh to allow locations of pal_finder Perl | |
93 script, data files and primer_core3 program to be set via environment | |
94 variables | |
95 0.0.1 - Initial version | |
