Re: Problem using wiggle2gff3.pl
Have you tried uploading the wig file directly through GBrowse? It should automatically generate the .wib files and conf in the userdata directory under GBrowse's temp directory. This isn't a permanent solution, but it might confirm whether there is something you're missing, or some more general problem. OK, then, let's assume the .wib and gff3 files are correct. I'm wondering about the data now. Is the wig file a fixedStep or variableStep? I find that a 1 bp step, 1 bp span, fixedStep file works the best (yes, I know, it's big), but other types work too but sometimes drops datapoints at certain views. Another is the min-max score values. Try setting those explicitly in the conf stanza (e.g. min_score = 0, max_score = 10). If they're not set, then graphics adaptor tries to calculate these values (I can't remember if this defaults to local or chromosome-wide), and I'm wondering if it is choking on this step (maybe you've got a really hot region somewhere on the chromosome?). Finally, if you have really dense data on large chromosomes, then you may be better served by switching to the BigWig adaptor (http://search.cpan.org/~lds/Bio-BigFile-1.04/). This adaptor is MUCH more robust than Bio::Graphics::Wiggle and can handle dense data with ease. It's faster, doesn't lose data precision, and doesn't drop datapoints. But it's harder to install – but well worth the effort in my opinion. You may want to look into that if keep having problems.

I am getting a readable, non-zero byte .wib file, a correctly defined GFF3 file (I had also tried just changing the feature in this file with no luck), and my stanza does have the same feature as given in the GFF3 file. I am also using bp_seqfeature_load.pl<http://bp_seqfeature_load.pl> to load in the GFF3 file on the server.(Continue reading)
