Daily Bits - February 2023

20230223

  • Created a genes BED file to use in E5 isoform analysis and added to the Genomic Resources Handbook page:

      bedops_linux_x86_64-v2.4.40/gff2bed \
      < Pver_genome_assembly_v1.0-valid.genes.gff3 \
      | awk -F"\t" 'BEGIN {OFS="\t"} {print $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6}' \
      > Pver_genome_assembly_v1.0-valid.genes.bed

  • Managed to fix missing “Edit” icon from the The Roberts Lab Handbook. Not sure which of the following was the final fix, but here’s what was done after I noticed that the MkDocs “Material” theme had been updated:

    • New update requires explicit declaration for “edit” button. Added this to the mkdocs.yml:

        features:
          - content.action.edit
      
    • Updated GitHub action (github_actions.yml) to match “Material” theme documentation:

      # Runs mkdocs-material theme for readthedocs documentation
      # Automatically deploys documentation to https://robertslab.github.io/resources/
      name: ci 
      on:
        push:
          branches:
            - master 
            - main
      permissions:
        contents: write
      jobs:
        deploy:
          runs-on: ubuntu-latest
          steps:
            - uses: actions/checkout@v3
            - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
              with:
                python-version: 3.x
            - uses: actions/cache@v2
              with:
                key: $
                path: .cache
            - run: pip install mkdocs-material 
            - run: mkdocs gh-deploy --force

  • Initiated MEGAN6 taxonomic classification on P.verrucosa E5 RNA-seq reads.

  • Updated Genomic Resources Handbook page with the updated P.verrucosa GFFs and GTFs, along with corresponding notebook links, etc.


20230220

  • Discovered (after HiSat2/Stringtie analysis failed) that the P.verrucosa GFF3 file is not a valid GFF. A number of rows had more than nine fields, which is not a valid GFF. So, had to deal with figuring out how to fix that. Will re-run the analysis using the fixed GFF, and the corresponding updated GTF…

20230216

  • Pub-a-thon

  • Long meeting with Emma Strand trying to troubleshoot conda install of EpiDiverse/snp on her HPC cluster. No luck. Advised her to talk with her IT dept.

  • Downloaded P.verrucosa endosymbiont genome and GFF files.

  • Began HISAT2 alignments and StringTie analysis using E5 P.verrucosa trimmed RNA-seq data.

20230213

  • Lab meeting.

  • CEABIGR meeting w/Yaamini.

    • Just worked on adding text (Methods) to manuscript.
  • Continued to help Emma Strand with her issue getting EpiDiverse/snp installed on their HPC at URI.


20230210

  • Worked a lot with Emma Strand from URI to try to troubleshoot her usage of the Nextflow EpiDiverse/snp pipeline. Read this notebook entry of hers for some details on the error. Seems to be related to use of Singularity (now Apptainer) container; particularly after she ran the pipeline using the test command and got the same error message as when she ran with her own data set.

  • Transferred Danielle Becker Coral E5 data from Mox to Gannet:

    • hputnam-Becker_E5/

      • NOTE: There are no README files, so I can only glean info regarding contents from directory names. Will potentially discuss contents in more detail with Danielle at a later date.

20230209

  • Worked with Danielle Becker, as part of the Coral E5 project, to transfer data related to this repo, from her HPC (Univ. of Rhode Island; Andromeda) to ours (Univ. of Washington; Mox) in order to eventually transfer to Gannet so that these files are publicly accessible to all members of the Coral E5 project.

    • GlobusConnect did not work. Couldn’t figure out how to make URI endpoint accessible.

    • URI IT provide a solution via rclone, involving transferring the data from an Amazon S3 bucket. rclone setup info is below, but I’ve removed the access key info:

      [becker]
      type = s3
      provider = Ceph
      access_key_id = <redacted>
      secret_access_key = <redacted>
      endpoint = https://sdsc.osn.xsede.org/
      

      Ran this command to initiate transfer:

      rclone --progress copy becker:uri-inbre/Becker/ ./Becker
      

      This copied all of the data (~1.1TB!!)to this directory on Mox: /gscratch/srlab/sam/data/Becker

      Transfer was estimated to take ~12hrs, so I just let it run. Will transfer to Gannet tomorrow…

  • Pub-a-thon.

20230207

  • In lab helping Laura & Steven get supplies ready for cod sampling in Oregon tomorrow.

  • Worked on Ariana’s Tidy Tuesday assignment for lab meeting next week.


20230206

  • Read Ch. 13 of “The Disordered Cosmos.”

  • Lab meeting.

  • Weekly CEABIGR meeting.

    • Decision is to spend time on manuscript.

20230203

  • Comlete and total lack of motivation. Ugh.

20230202

  • Pub-a-thon.

20230201

  • Added CEABIGR mean gene methylation coefficients of variation (CoV) scatter plots to our Miro board.
