     3 
 | 
| 
 | 
     4 Galaxy tool wrapper for the pal_finder microsatellite and PCR primer design script.

| 
 | 
     7 ======================
 | 
| 
 | 
     8 
 | 
| 
 | 
     9 Installation via the Galaxy Tool Shed will take of installing the tool wrapper and
 | 
| 
3
 | 
    10 the pal_finder and primer3_core programs (plus additional dependencies), and setting
 | 
| 
 | 
    11 the appropriate environment variables.

 | 
    14 ===================

    16 There are three files to install:
 | 
| 
0
 | 
    17 
 | 
| 
 | 
    18 - ``pal_finder_wrapper.xml`` (the Galaxy tool definition)
 | 
| 
 | 
    19 - ``pal_finder_wrapper.sh`` (the shell script wrapper)
 | 
| 
3
 | 
    20 - ``pal_finder_filter_and_assembly.py`` (filtering utility)
 | 
| 
0
 | 
    21 
 | 
| 
 | 
    22 The suggested location is in a ``tools/pal_finder_wrapper/`` folder. You will then
 | 
| 
 | 
    23 need to modify the ``tools_conf.xml`` file to tell Galaxy to offer the tool
 | 
| 
 | 
    24 by adding the line:
 | 
| 
 | 
    25 
 | 
| 
 | 
    26     <tool file="pal_finder/pal_finder_wrapper.xml" />
 | 
| 
 | 
    27 
 | 
| 
 | 
    28 You will also need to install the pal_finder and primer3 packages:
 | 
| 
 | 
    29 
 | 
| 
 | 
    30 - ``pal_finder`` can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/palfinder/
 | 
| 
 | 
    31 - ``Primer3`` version 2.0.0-alpha (see the pal_finder installation notes) can be
 | 
| 
 | 
    32   obtained from http://primer3.sourceforge.net/releases.php
 | 
| 
 | 
    33 
 | 
| 
3
 | 
    34 Additionally the filtering script needs ``BioPython`` and the ``PANDASeq`` program:
 | 
| 
 | 
    35 
 | 
| 
 | 
    36 - ``BioPython`` can be obtained from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/b/biopython/
 | 
| 
 | 
    37 - ``PANDASeq`` version 2.8.1 can be obtained from https://github.com/neufeld/pandaseq/
 | 
| 
 | 
    38 
 | 
| 
 | 
    39 The tool wrapper must be able to locate the ``pal_finder_v0.02.04.pl`` script, the
 | 
| 
 | 
    40 example pal_finder ``config.txt`` and ``simple.ref`` data files, and the
 | 
| 
 | 
    41 ``primer3_core`` program - the locations of these are taken from the following
 | 
| 
 | 
    42 enviroment variables which you will need to set manually:
 | 
| 
0
 | 
    43 
 | 
| 
 | 
    44 - ``PALFINDER_SCRIPT_DIR``: location of the pal_finder Perl script (defaults to /usr/bin)
 | 
| 
 | 
    45 - ``PALFINDER_DATA_DIR``: location of the pal_finder data files (specifically config.txt
 | 
| 
 | 
    46   and simple.ref; defaults to /usr/share/pal_finder_v0.02.04)
 | 
| 
 | 
    47 - ``PRIMER3_CORE_EXE``: name of the primer3_core program, which should include the
 | 
| 
 | 
    48   full path if it's not on the Galaxy user's PATH (defaults to primer3_core)
 | 
| 
 | 
    49 
 | 
| 
 | 
    50 If you want to run the functional tests, copy the sample test files under
 | 
| 
 | 
    51 sample test files under Galaxy's ``test-data/`` directory. Then:
 | 
| 
 | 
    52 
 | 
| 
 | 
    53     ./run_tests.sh -id microsat_pal_finder
 | 
| 
 | 
    54 
 | 
| 
 | 
    55 You will need to have set the environment variables above.
