Starting Blat for an Assembly Hub

From the location of yourAssembly.2bit file, http://yourURL/yourAssembly/yourAssembly.2bit, you can start two gfServers, specifying a port for the assembly hub to access amino acid sequence, 17777 -trans, or DNA sequence, 17779, in this example:

gfServer start localhost 17777 -trans -mask yourAssembly.2bit &
 gfServer start localhost 17779 -stepSize=5 yourAssembly.2bit &

Then you can edit the genomes.txt file of your assembly hub to include two lines in the stanza referring to yourAssembly, that would have matching port numbers:

transBlat yourLab.yourInstitution.edu 17777
 blat yourLab.yourInstitution.edu 17779 

+An addition argument of the string dynamic to the blat +or transBlat specification indicates that the BLAT server is dynamic and +started by xinetd. See gfServer documentation for the details +of configuring a dynamic BLAT server. + See an example genomes.txt with commented out lines here, and please note the uppercase "B" in transBlat. For more information, see the "Adding BLAT servers" section of the Assembly Hub Wiki. The Source Downloads page offers access to utilities with pre-compiled binaries such as gfServer found in a blat/ directory for your machine type here and further blat documentation here. Please note that because the -mask option in the above 17777 -trans gfServer option will mask all lower-case sequence from being matched, you may not wish to include it. See the above blat links and gfServer usage statement for more information.
