    fastQC

    Hi,
    i am trying to test my data quality by fastQC.
    i have PE data.
    When i execute this line:
    ./fastqc file.fastq

    i am getting this warning:
    ...........
    Approx 100% complete for file.fastq
    Analysis complete for file.fastq
    (.:922): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

    and i am getting a corrupt zip file:
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6924 Feb 1 06:26 i-a_file.fastq.zip

    Can anyone help??

    B.R

    It's trying to launch the graphical interface to FastQC. Try specifying --outdir and setting an output directory, it should just write the files into there without launching the GUI.

    Perhaps you are su'd into the root account? I wouldn't generally advise running any application as the root user by the way.

        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

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
