    Hi Ben,

    That's an interesting find. Alke's filter-stage-1.prl script should be better at reporting when it cannot find a dependent program. I added the following code to the script:

    use File::Which;
    unless ( which( $TRF_COMMAND ) && which( $NSEG_COMMAND ) )
    {
    die "ERROR: RepeatScout script filter-stage-1.prl cannot find 'trf' or 'nseg' programs in the user's path!\n";
    }

    This should at least produce an error message that will indicate something went wrong. I don't see why you would need to get rid of the "$ENV{'TRF_COMMAND'} ||" portion as that is simply a conditional statement which allows you to have environmental variables set to point to the programs location. Perhaps you have these environmental variables set and set incorrectly? Perhaps when you ran the program you hadn't updated the shell's path in memory ( using rehash command )? In any case, I am glad you got it working. I will push this change to filter-stage-1.prl out in the next release of RepeatScout.

      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.
