Install and activate BioGrids CLI

Download and install biogrids CLI client then run:

biogrids activate <site name>  <user name>  <activation key>

Linux

curl -kLO https://biogrids.org/wiki/downloads/biogrids-1.0.694-Linux.tgz
tar zxf biogrids-1.0.694-Linux.tgz
cd biogrids-1.0.694-Linux

OSX

curl -kLO https://biogrids.org/wiki/downloads/biogrids-1.0.694-Darwin.tgz
tar zxf biogrids-1.0.694-Darwin.tgz
cd biogrids-1.0.694-Darwin

Activate biogrids

./biogrids activate biogrid-production jvinent1  70rYFTDnmCr93VUklfbf1s3M4jdyC9bFVYHew==

Install software with BioGrids

./biogrids install fastqc trimmomatic samtools star subread igv

When finished, verify applications are installed: 

./biogrids installed

Download and uncompress tutorial files

cd    # make sure we are in home dir
curl -kLO https://biogrids.org/wiki/downloads/biogrids_workshop.tar.gz
tar zxf biogrids_workshop.tar.gz
cd biogrids_workshop

Run RNA-Seq workflow

cd biogrids_workshop
./runMOV10.sh ./raw_fastq/ENCODE_MOV10.fq
Successful completion of the workflow will create a new directory name 'results'.

Output from the RNA-Seq workflow is stored there.

View results with IGV: 

igv

Within IGV:

1: Genomes / Load Genome from File... (chr1_MOV10.fa)

2: File / Load from file... (chr1_MOV10.gtf)

3: File / Load from file... ( .bam file)

RNA-Seq Workflow on AWS

Start an EC2 Instance

Log in to the AWS console: aws.amazon.com Start a t2.micro instance (free tier) The last prompt when lanuching will ask you to select a key pair. Create a new key pair if this is the first time you have used EC2 or select an existing key pair.

If creating a new keypair you must download the .pem file. You will need this to access the EC2 instance launched with that key pair.

We reccomend keeping your .pem key files in .ssh directory in your home.

Copy the .pem file to .ssh and set the mode to user read only: 

cp my_key_file.pem ~/.ssh
cd ~/.ssh
chmod 400 my_key_file.pem
ls -l my_key_file.pem
