There are seven directories: lib - Library routines. inc - Interface to library routines hg/lib - Human genome project specific library hg/inc - Human genome project specific interfaces gfServer - Source to 'server' that sits in about a gigabyte of memory listening to a port for queries. GF = Genomic Finder. gfClient - Source to a client that operates in text mode from the command line. hg/hgBlat - Source to a client that operates on the Web and links to UCSC browser. To get things going read how to get the code to compile in the general purpose README, following the general install and then the BLAT install instructions. -Then ftp over to genome-ftp.cse.ucsc.edu, go to +Then ftp over to genome-ftp.soe.ucsc.edu, go to goldenPath/07oct2000/bigZips, and download chromNib.tar.Z. This contains the Oct 7th assembly in a format that puts two bases per byte, and is randomly accessible. Log onto the machine that you want to become the server. Create a directory where you want this to go, go into this directory, and gtar -Zxf chromNib.tar.Z. Then do: gfServer to review the gfServer command line options and gfServer start hostName 17777 *.nib & The gfServer will take about 10 minutes to index the files (first counting 12-mers, then actually indexing). For 'hostName' you want to fill in the host name of the server on your side. For us it's -kks00.cse.ucsc.edu. You don't have to use the +kks00.soe.ucsc.edu. You don't have to use the port 17777 - that's the one we use though. After the server says it's ready for queries you can test it a little. A quick test is: gfServer files hostName 17777 which should just print a list of all the .nib files and the DNA sizes. You can do further testing with an .fa file, including the ones that are part of the gfServer directory. The gfClient will produce a file in the '.psl' format we use for alignments. I think for 'industrial' use I'd want to change the client and the server so that they didn't have to set up a new connection for each query. I really built this for the web where this overhead doesn't matter, but it would add up if you were trying to process a million reads or ESTs with gfClient. Not that you *do* need to have the nib files in a directory that is accessible from the client as well as the server. hgBlat is currently hard wired to query -kks00.cse.ucsc.edu. Please change this +kks00.soe.ucsc.edu. Please change this to your local server once things are up if you are mirroring the web site. Thanks much for your interest, and best of luck with it. Let me know how it goes. -Jim Kent March 12, 2001
