    Help with understanding Human Microbiome Project (HMP) data

    I downloaded some HMP FASTQ data recently and need help understanding the metadata. I filtered by "wgs_raw_seq_set" and selected "FASTQ" as the file type, so these should be all WGS metagenomics data.

    The metadata is below:Click image for larger version

Name:	hmp.png
Views:	273
Size:	21.3 KB
ID:	325339

    Q1: why does https://downloads.hmpdacc.org/ihmp/i...w/CSM67UEW.tar appear twice, with different file_id, different md5 and different size?!!

    Q2: what is the difference between CSM67UEW.tar, CSM67UEW_TR.tar and CSM67UEW_P.fastq.gz

    Bonus: CSM67UEW_P.fastq.gz is interleaved paired end FASTQ, the two tar files contained paired-end FASTQ as separate files
    Bonus2: CSM67UEW.tar has 500k reads, the other two have 5M reads
    Bonus3: CSM67UEW_P.fastq.gz and CSM67UEW_TR.tar correlate very well after Kraken profiling (r=0.9) but both correlate quite poorly with CSM67UEW.tar (r=0.7)

    Please help, there doesn't seem to be anyone to email at HMP

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
