Many of the Perl scripts require that the VCF files are compressed by bgzip and indexed by tabix (both tools are part of the tabix package, available for download here). The VCF files can be compressed and indexed using the following commands

bgzip my_file.vcf
tabix -p vcf my_file.vcf.gz

'du' – Check the size of a directory

$ du
This command ( du) gives you a list of directories that exist in the current working directory along with their sizes in kilobytes (default). The last line of the output gives you the total size of the current directory including its subdirectories.

$ du /home/jin1
The above command would give you the directory size of the directory /home/david

$ du -h
The same “du”command with some flag gives you a better output than the default one. The option '-h' stands for human readable format. Therefore, in order to print the sizes of the files / directories in your desire notation use this time suffixed with a 'k' if its kilobytes and 'M' if its Megabytes and 'G' if its Gigabytes.

$ du -ah
If you are interested in checking everything present in a folder use above mentioned command. It gives us not only the directories but also all the files that are present in the current directory. The “-a” flag displays the filenames along with the directory names in the output.

$ du -c
This gives you a grand total as the last line of the output. So if your directory occupies 30MB the last 2 lines of the output would be 30M.

$ du -s
Use this command to displays a summary of the directory size. It is the simplest way to know the total size of the current directory.

$ du -S
This would display the size of the current directory excluding the size of the subdirectories that exist within that directory. So it basically shows you the total size of all the files that exist in the current directory.

$ du --exculde=mp3
Several times it required to exclude some directory in our size calculation. In such cases the above command would display the size of the current directory along with all its subdirectories, but it would exclude all the files having the given pattern present in their filenames.

'df' - finding the disk free space / disk usage

$ df
Hmmm … now “df” command is really useful, and I guess you are going to use it over time. Typing the above command, outputs a table consisting of 6 columns. All the columns are very easy to understand. Remember that the 'Size', 'Used' and 'Avail' columns use kilobytes as the unit. The 'Use%' column shows the usage as a percentage which is also very useful.

$ df -h
Displays the same output as the previous command but the '-h' indicates human readable format. Hence instead of kilobytes as the unit the output would have 'M' for Megabytes and 'G' for Gigabytes.

Example: Linux installed on /dev/hda1
$ df -h | grep /dev/hda1

All right, this is not the only option to check the sizes and free spaces but there are a few more options that can be used with 'du' and 'df' . I will discuss it later.

Currently CSBB provides 13 modules focused on analytical tasks like performing upper-quantile normalization on expression data or convert genome wide gene expression to z-scores when comparing expression data from different platforms.

Install latest Perl (with supporting multithreading) and CPANMinus.

 $ cd
 $ git clone git://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv.git ~/.plenv
 $ git clone git://github.com/tokuhirom/Perl-Build.git ~/.plenv/plugins/perl-build/
 $ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.plenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
 $ echo 'eval "$(plenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
 $ source ~/.bashrc
 $ plenv install 5.18.1 -Dusethreads
 $ plenv rehash
 $ plenv global 5.18.1
 $ plenv install-cpanm

• git is a distributed revision control and source code management software which can help you to download files from GitHub server.
• echo means "print".
• >> means adding the output into the end of the file, while > means adding the output by overwriting the whole file. Please use> with additional cares.
• In Linux system, there are two types of outputs when you execute a command. One is called standard output (or sometimes STDOUT for short), and the other is a standard error (STDERR). 1> is for STDOUT only, 2> is for STDERR only, and &>means for both. In default > is the same to 1>.
• exec is execution.
• Remember to install Perl in supporting multithreading (with option -Dusethreads), which is important for many NGS analysis packages (e.g. Trinity). In this setting, you can use multiple CPU for Perl software.
• Install the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) manager software, CPANMinus, by install-cpanm.

You can use plenv global and plenv local to change the different version of Perl to fulfil different needs of your Perl software.

For example, if the specific version of Perl is not compatible with your script, you can switch to the different version by:

 $ plenv local 

• It is similar to set the local version of your script language when you use pyenv and rbenv as the following.

Put the following path into ~/.bashrc file.

export PERL5LIB="$HOME/.plenv/build/perl-5.18.1/lib"

Install BioPerl and PerlIO::gzip

CPANMinus is a very good Perl module manager, use cpanm to install BioPerl can save you a lot of time. Here are some useful modules:

$ cpanm Bio::Perl
$ cpanm Bio::SearchIO
$ cpanm PerlIO::gzip

You see, for the past couple of years, I’ve been a bit frustrated because OS X does not come with a whole lot of Perl modules pre-installed, and for all I googled, I couldn’t find an “idiot’s” guide for moderately-savvy-but-not-expert users like myself to install modules and dependencies on demand.

The only instructions I could find point to Fink, which basically installs modules in a path that isn’t included in the Perl @INC variable, meaning you have to manually specify the full path to the modules in every script — which is not a lot of fun if you’re developing on OS X and deploying on Red Hat, for instance.

Moreover, Fink doesn’t seem to make every module available, and it’s not very easy to determine which Fink package you need to install if you need a particular module.

So, with a script that called on several apparently unavailable modules, and a deadline looming, I finally decided to suck it up and figure out how to use CPAN to install them:

1) Make sure you have the Apple Developer Tools (XCode) installed.

These are on one of your install discs, or available as a huge but free download from the Apple Developer Connection [free registration required] or the Mac App Store. I thought I had them, but apparently when we upgraded that computer to Tiger, they went missing.

If you don’t have this stuff installed, your installation will fail with errors about unavailable commands.

1.5) Install Command Line Tools (Recent XCode versions only)

(Thank you to Tom Marchioro for informing me about this step.)

Older versions of XCode installed the command line tools (which are required to properly install CPAN modules) by default, but apparently newer ones do not. To check whether you have the command line tools already installed, run the following from the Terminal:

$ which make

This command checks the system for the “make” tool. If it spits out something like /usr/bin/make you’re golden and can skip ahead to Step 2. If you just get a new prompt and no output, you’ll need to install the tools:

1. Launch XCode and bring up the Preferences panel.
2. Click on the Downloads tab
3. Click to install the Command Line Tools

If you like, you can run which make again to confirm that everything’s installed correctly.

2) Configure CPAN.

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

perl> o conf init

This will prompt you for some settings. You can accept the defaults for almost everything (just hit “return”). The two things you must fill in are the path to make (which should be /usr/bin/make or the value returned when you run which make from the command line) and your choice of CPAN mirrors (which you actually choose don’t really matter, but it won’t let you finish until you select at least one). If you use a proxy or a very restrictive firewall, you may have to configure those settings as well.

If you skip Step 2, you may get errors about make being unavailable.

3) Upgrade CPAN

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'

Don’t forget the sudo, or it’ll fail with permissions errors, probably when doing something relatively unimportant like installing man files.

This will spend a long time downloading, testing, and compiling various files and dependencies. Bear with it. It will prompt you a few times about dependencies. You probably want to enter “yes”. I agreed to everything it asked me, and everything turned out fine. YMMV of course. If everything installs properly, it’ll give you an “OK” at the end.

4) Install your modules. For each module….

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Name'

or

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Name'

This will install the module and its dependencies. Nice, eh? Again, don’t forget the sudo.

The first time you run this after upgrading CPAN, it may prompt you to configure again (see Step 2). If you accept its offer to try to configure itself automatically, it may just run through everything without a problem.

There are a couple of potential pitfalls with specific modules (such as theLWP::UserAgent / HEAD issue), but most have workarounds, and I haven’t run into anything that wasn’t easily recoverable.

And that’s it!

Did you find this useful? Is there anything I missed?

In our day to day research activity, we need to securely copy our data from several to local computer and visa-versa. I am jotting down some of the commonly used SCP command for your future help. Hope you all will like it

What is Secure Copy?

scp allows files to be copied to, from, or between different hosts. It uses ssh for data transfer and provides the same authentication and same level of security as ssh.

Examples

Copy the file "gene.txt" from a remote host to the local host

    $ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:gene.txt /some/local/directory

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from the local host to a remote host

    $ scp gene.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory

Copy the directory "chromosome" from the local host to a remote host's directory "bar"

    $ scp -r chromosome your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/bar

Copy the file "gene.txt" from remote host "rh1.edu" to remote host "rh2.edu"

    $ scp your_username@rh1.edu:/some/remote/directory/gene.txt \
    your_username@rh2.edu:/some/remote/directory/

Copying the files "gene.txt" and "cancer.txt" from the local host to your home directory on the remote host

    $ scp gene.txt cancer.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:~

Copy the file "gene.txt" from the local host to a remote host using port 2264

    $ scp -P 2264 gene.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory

Copy multiple files from the remote host to your current directory on the local host

    $ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/\{a,b,c\} .

    $ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:~/\{gene.txt,cancer.txt\} .

scp Performance

By default scp uses the Triple-DES cipher to encrypt the data being sent. Using the Blowfish cipher has been shown to increase speed. This can be done by using option -c blowfish in the command line.

    $ scp -c blowfish some_file your_username@remotehost.edu:~

It is often suggested that the -C option for compression should also be used to increase speed. The effect of compression, however, will only significantly increase speed if your connection is very slow. Otherwise it may just be adding extra burden to the CPU. An example of using blowfish and compression:

    $ scp -c blowfish -C local_file your_username@remotehost.edu:~
