I am using fastx toolkit and i generated the stats file. However, my boxplot generated a .png file but ubuntu says: failed to load image. Is there anyway to solve this issue? I have image viewers like eog and gwenview but it still doesn't load.

Just a thought... if you use the fastq_quality_boxplot_graph.sh with -p option, the file generated is not .png, but .ps, and can not be opened like a .png. -
So I need to convert the .ps which is assumed to be .png to jpg or some other format?Comment

No, just remove the -p option, and the files created should be .png, which shouldn't give you any difficulties when opening.Originally posted by bioinfo_ View PostComment

These may seem obvious but not sure if you have tried to check:
1. Is the .png file non-zero byte size?
2. If so have you tried to move it to some other machine to see if it opens there?Comment

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...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM -
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.
