Hi all,
I’m running into a problem of which I’m not sure what’s going wrong…
I downloaded single cell transcriptomics data into Galaxy directly from the SRA archive (project SRP150746; only the SMARTseq data, so excluding the 10x genomics multiplexed paired-ended data). This is a collection of 2100+ runs of single cells that were processed using the SMARTseq2 protocol, and were deposited as single ended reads (each run = 1 cell). In Galaxy, I transformed sra to single ended fastq, which resulted in a single collection of 2100+ fastq files. This collection was then mapped against reference genome Ensembl GRCm38.1, resulting in a collection of 2100+ bam files.
I am now trying to count these files using HTseq, which should result in a collection of 2100+ count tables that I could then download as a collection in one go, but this is not working very well. Each time I try, it takes forever to get all the jobs started, or results in a non-descriptive error message (job failed), or the process hangs (only results in a grey entry in my history with jobs pending), or produces high number of failed tasks.
Either way, I am unsure how to interpret this. Am I simply asking too much from galaxy by counting so many files? It seems unlikely. Am I setting this up wrong (details below)? Is there a better tool to use?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
