    Tophat2: Error running bowtie:

    I am trying to map illumina paired-end datasets using tophat2. Everything seems to work fine but I suddenly get an errormessage concerning bowtie:

    Please look at the tophat.log file. Does it give you an error?

        Tophat2 error at the end

        Hi dfhdfh:

        I am newer in NGS analysis. I recently used tophat2 to align illumina PE RNA-seq. At the end of running, there is an error, I really don't know how to solve this problem. Please help, thanks.
        I am using Oracle VM VirtualBox linux system.

        calgary@ChanLab:~/BT2_HOME$ tophat2 -o 81MAGABXX_5PE ./indexes/hg19 /media/sf_F_DRIVE/finished/81MAGABXX_5_R1.fastq /media/sf_F_DRIVE/finished/81MAGABXX_5_R2.fastq

          Ouch. It is painful to get that error after running the analysis for 2 days!

          So it did not make the "81MAGABXX_5PE" directory?

            can you please tell what is your system configuration and which genome are you using

              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.
