    How To Run 'Merge' in the Wonderful New checkM Package

    I have produced a number of draft genome bins from a series of metagenomes. Using checkM, I have run the typical workflow ("checkm lineage_wf") and produced a number of helpful outputs. However, I would now like to run the "merge" command to see if any of my recovered draft bins might be merged. It requires a 'Marker Set' (aka 'Marker File') of which I know nothing. I tried feeding it the 'lineage.ms' (assuming the .ms stands for 'marker set') which was generated by the generic workflow, but received the following error: " Merge command requires a taxonomic-specific marker set or a user-defined HMM file."

    Could you please suggest what file to use, or how to generate a marker set?

    Thanks in advance!

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
