IMPORT DATA IN YOUR GALAXY ACCOUNT

1. Introduction

For the course "Analyse des Génomes", we need three types of datasets

  • The reference sequences that will be used to align sequencing reads (full genome, miRNA, transposons, etc.)
  • libraries of sequencing reads from small RNAs (for analysis of piRNAs)
  • Librairies of sequencing reads from mRNA (for Gene differential expression analysis)

2. Galaxy data library

All of this data has been pre-loaded into the Bibliothèque de données (Data Library) on your Galaxy server. You can access it from the menu by navigating to Data → Bibliothèque de données.

In this data library, you'll see three subfolders.

Fasta and GTF references

  • dmel-r6.59-clean.fa → The "clean" dmel reference genome, version 6.59 (BDGP). "Clean" means that only the main main chromosomes are kept (excluding haplotypes and unassembled contigs) and were renamed with short names: 2L, 2R, 3L, 3R, 4, X and Y.
  • dmel-r6.59-gtf → The corresponding genome annotation in GTF format.
  • dmel-r6.59-miRNA → the pre-miRNA sequences in fasta format.
  • dmel-r6.59-miscRNA → Sequences of snoRNAs, snRNA and, importantly, of rRNAs, in fasta format.
  • dmel-r6.59-tRNA → The pre-tRNA sequences (before processing and editing) in fasta format.
  • PLacZ → The sequence of the PLacZ transgene

RNAseq datasets

  • GLKD-ALBA1 → sequence reads of RNAseq library from a GLKD mutant sample (replicat-1); FASTQ format.
  • GLKD-ALBA2 → sequence reads of RNAseq library from a GLKD mutant sample (replicat-2); FASTQ format.
  • GLKD-ALBA3 → sequence reads of RNAseq library from a GLKD mutant sample (replicat-3); FASTQ format.
  • WT-ALBA4 → sequence reads of RNAseq library from a WT sample (replicat-1); FASTQ format.
  • WT-ALBA5 → sequence reads of RNAseq library from a WT sample (replicat-2); FASTQ format.
  • WT-ALBA6 → sequence reads of RNAseq library from a WT sample (replicat-3); FASTQ format.
  • Test-Mapping → a sample of sequence reads that you will use for tests; FASTQ format.

Small RNAseq datasets

  • GLKD-ALBA28 → sequence reads of small RNAseq library from a GLKD mutant sample (replicat-1); FASTQ format.
  • GLKD-ALBA29 → sequence reads of small RNAseq library from a GLKD mutant sample (replicat-2); FASTQ format.
  • GLKD-ALBA30 → sequence reads of small RNAseq library from a GLKD mutant sample (replicat-3); FASTQ format.
  • WT-ALBA25 → sequence reads of small RNAseq library from a WT sample (replicat-1); FASTQ format.
  • WT-ALBA26 → sequence reads of small RNAseq library from a WT sample (replicat-2); FASTQ format.
  • WT-ALBA27 → sequence reads of small RNAseq library from a WT sample (replicat-3); FASTQ format.

3. Dataset Library usage

When you need one or more datasets for an analysis, import* them from the Data Library into a new or pre-existing Galaxy history.

Below we give you four examples of imports from the Data Library.

A. Import references datasets into your pre-existing Unnamed history

  • 1. Go to Data → Bibliothèque de données.
  • 2. Click Fasta and GTF references.
  • 3. Check all boxes before the datasets.
  • 4. In the top menu 📖Add to History, select as Datasets.
  • 5. In the popup panel, leave the Select history to Unnamed history and click Import.
  • → Now, you'll see the three selected dataset showing up in the Unnamed history.

Before the next step, rename the history Unamed history to References by clicking the small 📝 icon to the right of the history name.

B. Import RNAseq datasets into a new history named RNAseq libraries

  • 1. Go to Data → Bibliothèque de données.
  • 2. Click RNAseq datasets.
  • 3. Check the boxes before GLKD-ALBA1, GLKD-ALBA2 and GLKD-ALBA3
  • 4. In the top menu 📖Add to History, select as Datasets.
  • 5. In the popup panel, type RNAseq Analysis in the or create new: field and click Import.
  • → Now, you'll see the three selected dataset showing up in a new history named RNAseq libraries.

C. Import RNAseq datasets as a collection into the RNAseq Analysis history

  • 1. Go to Data → Bibliothèque de données.
  • 2. Click RNAseq datasets.
  • 3. Check the boxes before WT-ALBA4, WT-ALBA5 and WT-ALBA6.
  • 4. In the top menu 📖Add to History, select as Collection.
  • 5. In the popup panel, leave Collection type as List, ensure that Select history is RNAseq Analysis and click Continue.
  • 6. In the new panel Create a collection from a list of datasets, you can reorder the 3-element collection. Give it the name WT RNAseq datasets, and click the Create collection button.
  • → Now, you'll see a collection of the three selected dataset showing up in the RNAseq libraries history. You can click on this collection and see the three contained datasets. Click on the << History link, to come back to the normal history view.

C. Import small RNAseq datasets into the new small RNAseq Analysis history

  • 1. Go to Data → Bibliothèque de données.
  • 2. Click Small RNAseq datasets.
  • 3. Check all boxes before the datasets.
  • 4. In the top menu 📖Add to History, select as Datasets.
  • 5. In the popup panel, type small RNAseq Analysis in the or create new: field and click Import.
  • → Now, you'll see the six selected dataset showing up in a new history named small RNAseq Analysis.

4. About datasets collections

A Galaxy Collection is a container object which is convenient to treat together multiple equivalent datasets, such as a list of sequencing datasets, of text labels, of fasta sequences, etc.

Collections are particularly useful for RNAseq datasets, since these datasets often come as replicates which can be grouped upon a label. Your training is indeed a good example of that, since you are provided with 3 WT datasets (ALBA4, 5 and 6) and 3 GLKD datasets (ALBA1, 2 and 3).

You have just created a 3-element collection WT RNAseq datasets, but the three other datasets GLKD... in the history RNAseq Analysis still stand as single datasets.

Here is a procedure to make a collection from these datasets.

  • Go to your RNAseq Analysis history. There are multiple ways to this; Here, just click on the double arrow icon and select the RNAseq Analysis history.
  • In the history RNAseq Analysis, click the upper left small check box at the top of the dataset stack .

  • Check the 3 datasets GLKD (-ALBA1, 2 and 3)

  • From the menu 3 of 4 selected (in dark blue,top area of the history), select Build Dataset List

    build list

  • In the pop-up panel, type Mutant RNAseq datasets in the field Name: Enter a name for your new collection

  • Reorganize the datasets order by clicking the alphabetic sorting icon.
  • Press the button Create Collection
