    install MACS

    I am trying to install MACS peak caller from deb but it is saying that I dont have python 2.6 install even though I have. What could be wrong?

    I'm trying to install MACS version 1.4.2 and I have python version 2.7.4 installed in Ubuntu. The MACS website says Python version must be 2.6 or 2.7 and it fails to install for me saying "macs depends on python2.6". How can I install it and will it work with 2.7.4 or do I have to downgrade to 2.6 (or 2.7?).

      Might not be picking up your version of python.
      Code:
      python -V
      should indicate what version of python you have,
      Code:
      which python
      will indicate which binary of python is being used (in case you have multiple versions in play). Is your pythonpath env variable set correctly? Are you pointing to the correct python libraries?

      The other option is going from source. Even if you don't use the compiled binary, it'll probably spit out an error message if your install fails, and that will also be useful in troubleshooting.

      It looks like MACS bundles with a setup.py, so a python setup.py install --user should install MACS locally.

        Thank you I think it's working now, I used "python setup.pl install --user". When I type "./macs14 -h" or "./macs14 --version" it prints out the help or version number correctly.

            Saw that as well. I had originally posted instructions to pull the newest code from git and install it locally to --user, but you seem to have gotten that sorted out.

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

              Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

              New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
              by SEQadmin2


              Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

              We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
