Galaxy tool to extract top BLAST hit descriptions from BLAST XML ================================================================ This tool is copyright 2012-2013 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 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="ncbi_blast_plus/blastxml_to_top_descr.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. v0.0.8 - Development moved to GitHub, https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast v0.0.9 - Updated citation information (Cock et al. 2013). ======= ====================================================================== Bug Reports =========== You can file an issue here https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast/issues or ask us on the Galaxy development list http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-dev Developers ========== This script and related tools were originally developed on the 'tools' branch of the following Mercurial repository: https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/ As of July 2013, development is continuing on a dedicated GitHub repository: https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast For making the "Galaxy Tool Shed" http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ tarball use the following command from the GitHub repository root folder:: $ tar -czf blastxml_to_top_descr.tar.gz blastxml_to_top_descr/README.rst blastxml_to_top_descr/blastxml_to_top_descr.* blastxml_to_top_descr/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 blastxml_to_top_descr/README.rst blastxml_to_top_descr/blastxml_to_top_descr.py blastxml_to_top_descr/blastxml_to_top_descr.xml blastxml_to_top_descr/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.
