Synopsis: Search nucleotide sequences for open reading frames (ORFs), or coding sequences (CDSs)
This tool is a short Python script (using Biopython library functions) to search
nucleotide sequences for open reading frames (ORFs) or coding sequences (CDSs) where
the first potential start codon is used.

It is intended for very simplistic gene finding in Prokaryotes and viruses, or for
finding the likely CDS in an EST or mRNA sequence. It is not suitable for Eurakoytic
gene prediction since it is not intro aware.

See also the EMBOSS tool ``getorf`` which also has a Galaxy wrapper. This offers
much of the same functionality, but is likely faster as it is written in C.

Galaxy tool to find ORFs or simple CDSs

This tool is copyright 2011-2017 by Peter Cock, The James Hutton Institute (formerly SCRI, Scottish Crop Research Institute), UK. All rights reserved. Additions copyright 2015-2016 by Eric Rasche. See the licence text below (MIT licence).

This tool is a short Python script (using Biopython library functions) to search nucleotide sequences for open reading frames (ORFs) or coding sequences (CDSs) where the first potential start codon is used. See the help text in the XML file for more information.

This tool is available from the Galaxy Tool Shed at:

See also the EMBOSS tool getorf which offers similar functionality and has also been wrapped for use within Galaxy.

Automated Installation

This should be straightforward using the Galaxy Tool Shed, which should be able to automatically install the dependency on Biopython, and then install this tool and run its unit tests.

Manual Installation

There are just two files to install to use this tool from within Galaxy:

  • get_orfs_or_cdss.py (the Python script)
  • get_orfs_or_cdss.xml (the Galaxy tool definition)

The suggested location is in a dedicated tools/get_orfs_or_cdss folder.

You will also need to modify the tools_conf.xml file to tell Galaxy to offer the tool. One suggested location is in the filters section. Simply add the line:

<tool file="get_orfs_or_cdss/get_orfs_or_cdss.xml" />

You will also need to install Biopython 1.65 or later (slightly older versions should be fine, but will not have the latest NCBI genetic code tables).

If you wish to run the unit tests, also move/copy the test-data/ files under Galaxy's test-data/ folder. Then:

./run_tests.sh -id get_orfs_or_cdss

That's it.

Developers

This script and related tools were initially developed on the following hg branch: http://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/src/tools

Development has now moved to a dedicated GitHub repository: https://github.com/peterjc/pico_galaxy/tree/master/tools

For pushing a release to the test or main "Galaxy Tool Shed", use the following Planemo commands (which requires you have set your Tool Shed access details in ~/.planemo.yml and that you have access rights on the Tool Shed):

$ planemo shed_update -t testtoolshed --check_diff tools/get_orfs_or_cdss/
...

or:

$ planemo shed_update -t toolshed --check_diff tools/get_orfs_or_cdss/
...

To just build and check the tar ball, use:

$ planemo shed_upload --tar_only tools/get_orfs_or_cdss/
...
$ tar -tzf shed_upload.tar.gz
