1 pal_finder: find microsatellite repeats and design PCR primers
|
|
2 ==============================================================
|
|
3
|
|
4 Galaxy tool wrapper for the pal_finder microsatellite and PCR primer design script.
|
|
5
|
|
6 Automated installation
|
|
7 ======================
|
|
8
|
|
9 Installation via the Galaxy Tool Shed will take of installing the tool wrapper and
|
|
10 the pal_finder and primer3_core programs, and setting the appropriate environment
|
|
11 variables.
|
|
12
|
|
13 Manual Installation
|
|
14 ===================
|
|
15
|
|
16 There are two files to install:
|
|
17
|
|
18 - ``pal_finder_wrapper.xml`` (the Galaxy tool definition)
|
|
19 - ``pal_finder_wrapper.sh`` (the shell script wrapper)
|
|
20
|
|
21 The suggested location is in a ``tools/pal_finder_wrapper/`` folder. You will then
|
|
22 need to modify the ``tools_conf.xml`` file to tell Galaxy to offer the tool
|
|
23 by adding the line:
|
|
24
|
|
25 <tool file="pal_finder/pal_finder_wrapper.xml" />
|
|
26
|
|
27 You will also need to install the pal_finder and primer3 packages:
|
|
28
|
|
29 - ``pal_finder`` can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/palfinder/
|
|
30 - ``Primer3`` version 2.0.0-alpha (see the pal_finder installation notes) can be
|
|
31 obtained from http://primer3.sourceforge.net/releases.php
|
|
32
|
|
33 The tool wrapper must be able to locate the pal_finder Perl script, the example
|
|
34 pal_finder config.txt and simple.ref data files, and the primer3_core program - the
|
|
35 locations of these are taken from the following enviroment variables which you will
|
|
36 need to set manually:
|
|
37
|
|
38 - ``PALFINDER_SCRIPT_DIR``: location of the pal_finder Perl script (defaults to /usr/bin)
|
|
39 - ``PALFINDER_DATA_DIR``: location of the pal_finder data files (specifically config.txt
|
|
40 and simple.ref; defaults to /usr/share/pal_finder_v0.02.04)
|
|
41 - ``PRIMER3_CORE_EXE``: name of the primer3_core program, which should include the
|
|
42 full path if it's not on the Galaxy user's PATH (defaults to primer3_core)
|
|
43
|
|
44 If you want to run the functional tests, copy the sample test files under
|
|
45 sample test files under Galaxy's ``test-data/`` directory. Then:
|
|
46
|
|
47 ./run_tests.sh -id microsat_pal_finder
|
|
48
|
|
49 You will need to have set the environment variables above.
