BUG: Cannot save "unchecked" Strand and Name Identifier attributes for interval file

Question: BUG: Cannot save "unchecked" Strand and Name Identifier attributes for interval file

2.6 years ago by

Has anyone tried uploading a .txt tab-delimited file as an interval file and noticed that setting the attributes does not work as it did before the Galaxy update?

I uploaded a .txt tab-delimited file as an interval file (headers: gene, locus, chrom, chromStart, chromEnd). In the preview, the data sorts nicely into 5 columns.
I tried saving the following Attributes: comment lines = 1, chrom = 3, start = 4, end = 5, strand column (unchecked), name identifier column = 1.
Then when I clicked Save, the strand column box checked itself.
I unchecked both the Strand and Name Identifier (as an experiment) and clicking save re-checked both boxes.

I attempted to fix the problem by uploading a version of the file that has a strand column (headers: gene, locus, chrom, chromStart, chromEnd, strand). After setting the strand column to "6" I tried to run Join (under Operate on Genomic Intervals) with some ChIP intervals. The process keeps gettign stuck and I get no error messages.

Please help. Thank you.

Hello, How is the process getting stuck? Is the job grey? In "prep/new dataset" or "queued" state (noted in dataset comments)?

Thanks - a bit more information and we can help. If the job has already succeeded, that would be good to know.

The job goes from grey to yellow ("This job is currently running") and then never finishes. I startied it again yesterday and after coming back to my office the next day I still see it running.

Hello,

Jobs have up to 48-72 hours to complete, depending on the cluster resource used. If a job is in a yellow execution state, it is best to allow it to finish. Restarting will place the new job back at the end of the queue, extending wait time before execution (grey queued dataset) and the time it takes to start up and execute completely (yellow processing dataset -> green successful dataset).

There were some more recent issues with the cluster resolved this morning. So, if datasets failed over the last few days (red), please rerun them now.

Thanks for your patience during this upgrade phase at http://usegalaxy.org

Concerning the interval file upload/metadata issues:

I noticed some odd behavior with metadata assignments last week with this datatype. I believe these are resolved now, but let us know if not. If you still have an example of an uploaded file that has metadata assignment problems, please share that history with the dataset undeleted (how to: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Learn/Share). Include the dataset number, a link to this biostars post, and the shared history link in an email to galaxy-bugs@lists.galaxyproject.org.

It is OK if the interval dataset is in a new history containing just that uploaded file, it is enough to test this particular issue with. If you go this route, please also capture and send a screenshot of the settings used with the upload tool, or note what these were in the email.

Thank you. The metadata problem is still there. I just sent the e-mail with all of the details and a shared history link. This issue is very annoying, especially since I have a similar interval file that seems to behave just fine (it does not force me to select Strand). This file was added a few months ago, before the Galaxy update.
