Launching an Analysis Job¶
When you are ready to analyze data, you can select from one of several hundred applications in the Discovery Environment. We will cover the minimum you need to launch an analysis using some sample data. In this example, we will use the Muscle multiple sequence aligner app, to align some DNA sequences.
Example Data
Input | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Unaligned DNA sequence reads | One or more sequences in FASTA format | DE_sample_plants.fas |
Discovery Environment App(s):
App name | Version | Description | App link | Notes/other links |
---|---|---|---|---|
Muscle | 3.8.31 | Multiple sequence aligner | Muscle 3.8.31 |

Example Discovery Environment Analysis: Multiple sequence alignment with MUSCLE¶
If necessary, login to the https://de.cyverse.org/de/.
Click
Apps from the DE workspace; search for MUSCLE 3.8.31 or click this link: Muscle 3.8.31. (Tip: when using the link in this guide, the Muscle app may start behind other open windows in the DE)
Under “Analysis Name” leave the defaults or make any desired notes.
Under “Select Input data” click Browse, then navigate to and select DE_sample_plants.fas; then click OK.
(Location: Community Data > cyverse_training > platform_guides > discovery_environment > muscle_3_8_31 > 01_muscle_input)
Under “Sequence Type”, select DNA.
Under Resource Requirements leave the default settings. If required, some analyses may be launched with requests for more resources, but this may cause those analyses to wait longer in the submission queue until a node that matches those minimum requirements becomes available.
Click Launch Analysis. You will receive a notification and the Muscle App window will close.
