Hi, I have ChIP-seq alignment files in .bowtie format and would like to perform peak-calling using MACS. However, .bowtie format doesn't seem to be supported in Galaxy. Is there a way around to have MACS analyze these files within Galaxy, or is the only option to use MACS in command line? Thank you for your help! Sébastien

Hello Sébastien, The tags/control input for MACS needs to be in SAM format. SAM is an output format option for Bowtie. I believe there are various scripts available on the web to do the conversion between .bowtie -> SAM/BAM, but these should be evaluated carefully and I do not think that they incorporate as much information as directly outputting BAM/SAM (at least not the few I took a look at). Conversion between BAM <-> SAM can be done within Galaxy, if you need to do that. A sample MACS workflow is in Protocol 3 here: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/galaxyproject/p/using-galaxy-2012 Best, Jen Galaxy team -- Jennifer Jackson http://galaxyproject.org
