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.

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.

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.
