1 Galaxy tool to wrap the MIRA sequence assembly program (v3.4)
2 =============================================================
3
4 This tool is copyright 2011-2013 by Peter Cock, The James Hutton Institute
5 (formerly SCRI, Scottish Crop Research Institute), UK. All rights reserved.
6 See the licence text below.
7
8 This tool is a short Python script (to collect the MIRA output and move it
9 to where Galaxy expects the files, and convert MIRA's TCS file into a tab
10 separated file for use in Galaxy).
11
12
13 Automated Installation
14 ======================
15
16 This should be straightforward, Galaxy should automatically download and
17 install the precompiled binary for MIRA v3.4.0 for the Galaxy wrapper,
18 and run any tests.
19

21 Manual Installation
22 ===================
23
24 There are just two Galaxy files to install:
25
26 * mira.py (the Python script)
27 * mira.xml (the Galaxy tool definition)
28
29 The suggested location is a new tools/mira_3_4 folder. You will also need to
30 modify the tools_conf.xml file to tell Galaxy to offer the tool, and also do
31 this to tools_conf.xml.sample in order to run any tests:
32
33 <tool file="mira_3_4/mira.xml" />
34
35 You will also need to install MIRA, we used version 3.4.1.1. See:

37 http://chevreux.org/projects_mira.html
38 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mira-assembler/

40 WARNING: This tool was developed to construct viral genome assembly and
41 mapping pipelines, for which the run time and memory requirements are
42 negligible. For larger tasks, be aware that MIRA can require vast amounts
43 of RAM and run-times of over a week are possible. This tool wrapper makes
44 no attempt to spot and reject such large jobs.

47 History
48 =======
49
50 v0.0.1 - Initial version (working prototype, using MIRA 3.2.1)
51 v0.0.2 - Improve capture of stdout/stderr (should see it as it runs)
52 v0.0.3 - Support Ion Torrent reads, now requires MIRA 3.4.0 or later
53 (some other switches changed, e.g. -OUT rrol to rrot, which
54 means the wrapper no longer works with MIRA 3.2.x)
55 - The contig summary file (TCS file) was removed in MIRA 3.4
56 - Report all missing output files (not just first missing one)
57 v0.0.4 - Fix problem with backbone arguments inroduced in v0.0.3
58 v0.0.5 - Implement the <version_command> tag to record the wrapper
59 version and the MIRA version being used.
60 - Check using MIRA 3.4 (later versions have a different API)
61 v0.0.6 - Tell MIRA to use /tmp for temporary files
62 - Tell MIRA to ignore long read names (otherwise it aborts)
63 v0.0.7 - Automated installation of the 64 bit Linux MIRA binary.
