SAINTexpress data

[jennaj]

Hi @Bernard

Hum, this is unfortunate!

@Bernard

The authors of the Galaxy tools I am using moved to other institutions, but I found their new email addresses. Unfortunately, they don’t remember exactly what their tools do, and they no longer have access to the server that hosts them.

Because this is an error that only the server administrators can address. This could happen if the server is no longer connected to a computing cluster!

@Bernard

“Internal Server Error. Galaxy was unable to successfully complete your request”.

Then, this means that you can’t send them a message through the bug reporting system!

@Bernard

“An error occurred sending the report by email: Mail is not configured for this galaxy instance”.

What to do?

1. Use the original tools/workflows a different way. The Docker version is more likely to be internally stable, however, even this was last touched over 5 years ago!

• GitHub - bornea/APOSTL: APOSTL is an interactive affinity proteomics analysis software developed to reformat affinity proteomics data (both spectral counting and MS1) for input into the SAINTexpress statistical package and to visualize the output(s).

2. Use currently supported methods instead. The proteomics protocols in the GTN are current and most should work at any of the UseGalaxy servers, with UseGalaxy.eu being the server most are developed against.

• All → Proteomics / Tutorial List
• Example → Hands-on: Peptide and Protein ID using SearchGUI and PeptideShaker / Peptide and Protein ID using SearchGUI and PeptideShaker / Proteomics

Not the ideal answer, but hopefully adds in some clarification about what happened and your options going forward.
