Debian Stable (Etch 4.0) installation notes

Installing Chado/GMOD old office machine with a fresh Debian stable installation. Goal: test the Chado scheme for annotation of bacterial genomes

  • AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+
  • 1 GB memory
  • 500 GB SATA disk

I borrowed a lot of stuff from the Installing_Chado_on_Ubuntu_HOWTO page as Debian and Ubuntu are much alike.

Apache

Apache 2.2 is installed by default during the installation of Debian stable (web package).

location for GMOD

mkdir /usr/local/gmod

note: this is NOT the home of my gmod user.

download

got the source from sourceforge and unpacked in /usr/local/gmod (maybe I should use the cvs version??)

=== postgresql setup ===

Note: Debian stable has postgresql 7.4 as default package, but i'm going for 8.1.11 as this is also the version that runs on our RedHat Enterprise 5 server (more on that later)

apt-get install the following packages, Synaptic is your friend

  • postgresql-8.1
  • postgresql-8.1-client-common
  • postgresql-client-8.1
  • postgresql-contrib-8.1
  • postgresql-plperl-8.1

Not necessary, but I also installed phpPgAdmin from source, not the Debian package.

Following the guidelines from INSTALL.Chado to add a database user and optimize some settings. Don't forget to create a database user root as well for the CPAN installations below, otherwise some tests fail. I added user 'chado' for the chado database installation.

The configuration files are located in a different location as opposed to our Redhat installation:

/etc/postgresql/8.1/main


I opted to install the CPAN modules instead of the Debian packages as some of the Debian packages have older versions of the modules. The modules are installed in

/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/

So not overwriting any installed Debian packages.

Note: when installing DBIx::DBStag, the install tests require a postgres account to run the 'make tests'. Because CPAN installs are typically run under root, you may create an account for root with:

su postgres createuser root

Superuser[Y]

The DBIx::DBStag package should now be able to install without using the 'force' option under CPAN. For security, don't forget to drop the user after the install is finished:

su postgres dropuser root

CPAN packages

CGI
GD
DBI
DBD::Pg
SQL::Translator
Digest::MD5
Text::Shellwords
Graph
Data::Stag
XML::Parser::PerlSAX
Module::Build
Class::DBI
Class::DBI::Pg
Class::DBI::Pager
DBIx::DBStag (Force install needed if tests fail)
XML::Simple
LWP

Log::Log4perl
GO::Parser

BioPerl

I installed BioPerl-live using subversion into /usr/local/bioperl/bioperl-live (as root)

svn co svn://code.open-bio.org/bioperl/bioperl-live/trunk bioperl-live
cd /usrlocal/bioperl/bioperl-live
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test   #some tests fail as usual
sudo ./Build install


Environment Variables

Added this to my .bashrc so that when I login as user gmod all vars are set

# GMOD additions
export GMOD_ROOT=/usr/local/gmod
export GO_ROOT=/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/GO/
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/usr/local/bioperl/bioperl-live
export CHADO_DB_NAME=dev_chado_01
export CHADO_DB_USERNAME=chado
export CHADO_DB_PASSWORD=******
#CHADO_DB_HOST=localhost
#CHADO_DB_PORT=5432


=== installing Chado scheme and tools

in /usr/local/gmod
perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install
make load_schema
make prepdb

a quick look at the database user phpPgAdmin: the database looks fine.

make ontologies
 ./Build ontologies
 Available ontologies:
 [1] Relationship Ontology
 [2] Sequence Ontology
 [3] Gene Ontology
 [4] Chado Feature Properties
 [5] Cell Ontology
 [6] Plant Ontology
 Which ontologies would you like to load (Comma delimited)? [0] 1,2,3,4

This take a while. i'm getting the notorious duplicate key violates unique constraint "cvterm_c1" error as well.

Data loading

We have a local mirror of [1] mounted at /data/genomes As described in the Chado manual I inserted an organism in the database, our pet organism of course:

INSERT INTO organism (abbreviation, genus, species, common_name)
               VALUES ('L.plantarum', 'Lactobacillus', 'plantarum', 'Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1');

question: other pages seem to specify the taxonomy id as organism id. In our case that would be 220668. Should we use this ID or just let postgresql add an ID for us?

what doesn't work

NCBI gff3 files (does not work!)

> gmod_gff3_preprocessor.pl -gfffile /data/genomes/Lactobacillus_plantarum/NC_004567.gff -outfile NC_004567.gff

Loading NCBI gff files directly is not going to work.

NCBI genbank RefSeq files (does work, with adaptations) Please note that the page at Load_RefSeq_Into_Chado is now including an organism_id, confusing.

taken from RefSeq howto --> does not load in the database

 bp_genbank2gff3.pl --summary --typesource chromosome -noCDS --filter exon -o . NC_004567.gbk


What works

taken from GenBank howto --> does load in the database

bp_genbank2gff3.pl -noCDS -s -o . NC_004567.gbk

Gives some output

Load into the database with:

gmod_bulk_load_gff3.pl --organism 'Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1'  --dbxref GeneID --gfffile NC_004567.gbk.gff --recreate_cache

load the file into the database-->ok

Note: one could use the following options for the bp_genbank2gff3.pl script: --typesource chromosome --typesource plasmid etc, as long as it is a valid SO type.


Gbrowse configuration

completely standard as described in the manual. Configuration file goes in /etc/apache2/
