Description

pasa website  

The Program to Assemble Spliced Alignments (PASA) is used to automatically incorporate ESTs and full-length cDNAs into gene structure annotations, in the process annotating UTRs, alternative splicing variations, and polyadenylation sites.

Required Modules

modules documentation

Serial

  • pasa

System Variables

  • HPC_{{#uppercase:pasa}}_DIR - installation directory
  • HPC_PASA_BIN - executable directory.
  • HPC_PASA_CONF - config file directory.

Additional Information

Tools and variables

  • UNIVECDB environment variable is set to the location of the UniVec database for use by seqclean.

Databases

  • The MySQL server used by PASA has been configured to allow the pasaadmin user to create databases with names in the form of "pasa_${USER}_". So, to run pasa your configuration file such as alignAssembly.config or conf.txt must have MySQL configuration similar to the following entry:
MYSQLDB=pasa_jdoe_run1

The example configuration files are located in $HPC_PASA_CONF directory.

Make sure to name your pasa database as 'pasa_${USER}_$NAME' where '$NAME' is the name you want to give the database and '$USER' is your username. For example a database can be named as 'pasa_jdoe_experiment_1'.

Please contact us if you would like to prevent automatic removal of old pasa databases. We may remove all databases over six months old.

Web Portal

You can visualize the results of your PASA run by going to "http://pasa2.rc.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/status_report.cgi?db=$MYSQL_DB" URI where "$MYSQL_DB" must be changed to the database name used for the run. Use your HPC credentials to access the protected web portal.

Note: Pasa2 web interface no longer has an administrative page. Go directly to status_report.cgi.
