    BFAST match abort trap

    Hello,

    I am trying to analyze SOLiD data using BFAST, and am a little new to the system. I have successfully created and indexed the reference genome, but I am running into problems with BFAST match. I get an error message saying:

    Reading /ResearchFiles/JEC21_genome/CNA_assembly/BFAST/NIH433_fastq_reads.1.fastq into a temp file.
    Assertion failed: (m->readLength > 0), function RGMatchPrint, file ../bfast/RGMatch.c, line 155.
    Abort trap

    My command line is bfast match -f JEC21_all.fasta -r NIH433_fastq_reads.1.fastq > NIH433_JEC21_matched

    I also created the input fastq file using the solid2fastq program that came with the BFAST package.

    Any idea what is causing this?

    Thanks,

    BB

    Most likely the input fastq is corrupted. You can either try to re-run solid2fastq, or remove reads from the input fastq until you find the offending read.

      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.

      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.
