Uploaded v0.0.11, corrected automated dependency definition

Galaxy tool to primer clip (trim) FASTA, FASTQ or SFF reads
===========================================================

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 (MIT licence).

This tool is a short Python script (using the Galaxy library functions and
Biopython). It is available from the Galaxy Tool Shed here:
http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/seq_primer_clip


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:

* seq_primer_clip.py (the Python script)
* seq_primer_clip.xml (the Galaxy tool definition)

The suggested location is a new tools/seq_primer_clip folder. You will also
need to modify the tools_conf.xml file to tell Galaxy to offer the tool::

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

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

    $ ./run_functional_tests.sh -id seq_primer_clip

You will also need to install Biopython 1.54 or later. That's it.


History
=======

======= ======================================================================
Version Changes
------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.0.1  - Initial version (not publicly released)
v0.0.2  - Sort primers by length (longest and therefore most specific first)
v0.0.3  - Consider missing bases at start/end of read as mismatches
v0.0.4  - Apply minimum length to sequences with no match too
v0.0.5  - Count clipped & non-matched short reads separately, length bug fixes
v0.0.6  - Added some functional tests
v0.0.7  - Added error check for bad filename arguments
v0.0.8  - Record version of Python script when run from Galaxy.
        - Check for errors using Python script's return code.
v0.0.9  - Moved test data to workaround Galaxy Tool Shed limititation.
v0.0.10 - Include links to Tool Shed in help text and this README file.
        - Use reStructuredText for this README file.
        - Adopted standard MIT licence.
        - Automated installation of Biopython dependency.
        - Development moved to GitHub, https://github.com/peterjc/pico_galaxy
        - Renamed folder and adopted README.rst naming.
v0.0.11 - Correct automated dependency definition.

Developers
==========

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

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

For making the "Galaxy Tool Shed" http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ tarball use
the following command from the Galaxy root folder::

    $ tar -czf seq_primer_clip.tar.gz tools/seq_primer_clip/README.rst tools/seq_primer_clip/seq_primer_clip.* tools/seq_primer_clip/tool_dependencies.xml test-data/dop_primers.fasta test-data/MID4_GLZRM4E04_rnd30*

Check this worked::

    $ tar -tzf seq_primer_clip.tar.gz
    tools/seq_primer_clip/README.rst
    tools/seq_primer_clip/seq_primer_clip.xml
    tools/seq_primer_clip/seq_primer_clip.py
