    viewing Galaxy public server alignment output

    Hi all,

    Does anybody know how to format .sam, .bam or .bed data in order that Galaxy gives an internal link to view the data using the UCSC site? I did a lot of trial and error changes in file format, and the only promising development was that changing the file format to BigBed gave it the label "Binary UCSC BigBed file", but still with no link to a program or site that can view the data.

    I tried uploading this BigBed file to UCSC as a custom track, but the upload link times out before getting anywhere. Is there a way to access the FTP domain (from outside of the UCSC) in order to transfer the file from my computer with FileZilla?

    Alternatively, my BAM file output in the History offers a link to GeneTrack, but not to Ensambl or to the UCSC. GeneTrack doesn't open the file, but gives an error message, and all the help in Seqanswers and elsewhere are for installing GeneTrack into your private Galaxy instance, not the public server.

    Is there another program/site better for the homology analysis itself? Basically, I'm interested in checking homology between two plasmids and ngs bacterial genomic dna. My tendancy is to use Bioedit, since the plasmids that I'm checking for chromosomal homology are in FASTA files, but Bioedit can't open my ngs data output from Galaxy.

    I'd much appreciate any advice.

    BioEdit is dead software. You might find UGene a suitable replacement (free, open source).

    As to the Galaxy+BAM issues... I'm not sure about that - have you tried their mailing list? Also, have you tried Galaxy's built in viewer Trackster instead?

      Thank you very much! UGene let me open and manipulate .bam output from Galaxy!

      Many thanks

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
