Don't worry I'm on the thread too, we'll talk there. In the mean time you can use the old sff_extract.

It's a python script, just run it with:

Hii all,
dont know what to do with this error msg. getting this always when trying t run the non-seqcrumb version of sff_extract..
Traceback (most recent call last):

any help???

You may be missing the "libsasl2-dev" library. Depending on the flavor of linux you are using you will need to find and install it.Comment

hii, sorry to say that i dont have much knowladge about linux and all this. What i understood from your previous reply, i install "libsasl2-dev" with the following command sudo apt-get install libsasl2-dev
still the same error msg it showing... sorry if i missed anything particular.Comment

Which python version are you using? Are you using python 2.7? It's a strange problem because that missing module belongs to the standard library.
The newest sff_extract is now included in a package named seq_crumbs. To avoid these problems we are also distributing binary versions of these scripts. These binaries might work for you. You can download them from:

You can get missing core library modules like this if your Python was compiled without the underlying dependencies and their C headers. Perhaps you (or your systems administrator) can check that.
[This would not explain things if you used a pre-compiled Python from python.org, like the Windows installers]Comment

My python version is 2.7.1.. sadly it seems that both the source distribution and binary distribution of latest "seq_crumbs 0.1.7" is unavailable right now to download. Additionally can you please tell me wheather this newest sff_extract can give the output in traceinfo/.xml format which are not possible with the 0.1.6 version??Comment

The newest sff_extract can not create the traceinfo xml file. We have to add it to the new sff_extract, we add it to the TODO. If you need that functionallity you can use the old sff_extract:
The latest new one you can always get it at github, but sff_extract have not been changed for a while.Comment

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.
Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...Yesterday, 07:11 AM -
Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
