All rights reserved. +See the licence text below. + +This tool is a short Python script to parse a BLAST XML file, and extract the +identifiers with description for the top matches (by default the top 3), and +output these as a simple tabular file along with the query identifiers. + +It is available from the Galaxy Tool Shed at: +http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/blastxml_to_top_descr + +This requires the 'blast_datatypes' repository from the Galaxy Tool Shed +to provide the 'blastxml' file format definition. + + +Automated Installation +====================== + +This should be straightforward, Galaxy should automatically install the +'blast_datatypes' dependency. + + +Manual Installation +=================== + +If you haven't done so before, first install the 'blast_datatypes' repository. + +There are just two files to install (if doing this manually): + +* blastxml_to_top_descr.py (the Python script) +* blastxml_to_top_descr.xml (the Galaxy tool definition) + +The suggested location is in the Galaxy folder tools/ncbi_blast_plus next to +the NCBI BLAST+ tool wrappers. + +You will also need to modify the tools_conf.xml file to tell Galaxy to offer +the tool. e.g. next to the NCBI BLAST+ tools. Simply add the line:: + + <tool file="filters/seq_select_by_id.xml" /> + +To run the tool's tests, also add this line to tools_conf.xml.sample then:: + + $ sh run_functional_tests.sh -id blastxml_to_top_descr + + +History +======= + +======= ====================================================================== +Version Changes +------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- +v0.0.1 - Initial version. +v0.0.2 - Since BLAST+ was moved out of the Galaxy core, now have a dependency + on the 'blast_datatypes' repository in the Tool Shed. +v0.0.3 - Include the test files required to run the unit tests +v0.0.4 - Quote filenames in case they contain spaces (internal change) +v0.0.5 - Include number of queries with BLAST matches in stdout (peek text) +v0.0.6 - Check for errors via the script's return code (internal change) +v0.0.7 - Link to Tool Shed added to help text and this documentation. + - Tweak dependency on blast_datatypes to also work on Test Tool Shed + - Adopt standard MIT License. +======= ====================================================================== + + +Developers +========== + +This script and related tools are being developed on the following hg branch: +http://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/src/tools + +For making the "Galaxy Tool Shed" http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ tarball use +the following command from the Galaxy root folder:: + + $ tar -czf blastxml_to_top_descr.tar.gz tools/ncbi_blast_plus/blastxml_to_top_descr.* tools/ncbi_blast_plus/repository_dependencies.xml test-data/blastp_four_human_vs_rhodopsin.xml test-data/blastp_four_human_vs_rhodopsin_top3.tabular + +Check this worked:: + + $ tar -tzf blastxml_to_top_descr.tar.gz + tools/ncbi_blast_plus/blastxml_to_top_descr.py + tools/ncbi_blast_plus/blastxml_to_top_descr.rst + tools/ncbi_blast_plus/blastxml_to_top_descr.xml + tools/ncbi_blast_plus/repository_dependencies.xml + test-data/blastp_four_human_vs_rhodopsin.xml + test-data/blastp_four_human_vs_rhodopsin_top3.tabular + + +Licence (MIT) +============= + +Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy +of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal +in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights +to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell +copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is +furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: + +The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in +all copies or substantial portions of the Software. + +THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR +IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
