Galaxy tool to find ORFs or simple CDSs ======================================= This tool is copyright 2011-2013 by Peter Cock, The James Hutton Institute (formerly SCRI, Scottish Crop Research Institute), UK. All rights reserved. See the licence text below. 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. There are just two files to install: * get_orfs_or_cdss.py (the Python script) * get_orfs_or_cdss.xml (the Galaxy tool definition) If you are installing this manually (rather than via the Tool Shed), the suggested location is in the Galaxy folder tools/filters next to the tool for calling sff_extract.py for converting SFF to FASTQ or FASTA + QUAL. 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: You will also need to install Biopython 1.54 or later. If you want to run the unit tests, include this line in tools_conf.xml.sample and the sample FASTA files under the test-data directory. Then: ./run_functional_tests.sh -id get_orfs_or_cdss That's it. History ======= v0.0.1 - Initial version. v0.0.2 - Correct labelling issue on reverse strand. - Use the new settings in the XML wrappers to catch errors v0.0.3 - Include unit tests. - Record Python script version when run from Galaxy. 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 get_orfs_or_cdss.tar.gz tools/filters/get_orfs_or_cdss.* test-data/get_orf_input*.fasta test-data/Ssuis.fasta Check this worked: $ tar -tzf get_orfs_or_cdss.tar.gz filter/get_orfs_or_cdss.py filter/get_orfs_or_cdss.txt filter/get_orfs_or_cdss.xml test-data/get_orf_input.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.Suis_ORF.nuc.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.Suis_ORF.prot.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.t11_nuc_out.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.t11_open_nuc_out.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.t11_open_prot_out.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.t11_prot_out.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.t1_nuc_out.fasta test-data/get_orf_input.t1_prot_out.fasta test-data/Ssuis.fasta Licence (MIT/BSD style) ======================= Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its documentation with or without modifications and for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided that any copyright notices appear in all copies and that both those copyright notices and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the names of the contributors or copyright holders not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the software without specific prior permission.
