    Can anyone help me in this, since this tool is crucial for running FASTX.

        How did you install and run fastx toolkit in linux

        Hi,

        I am new to NGS data analysis.
        Can you please tell me how you installed and run the fastx toolkit in linux.
        I would greatly appreciate your help.

        Thanks

          The install instructions are on the download page: http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/download.html

          What OS are you using (or are planning to use)?

            I also follow same protocol for installation.
            I am using linux 64.

            After typing
            make
            message apperas like: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

            After typing
            sudo make install
            message apperas like: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

            Can you please explain what does this mean.

            Thanks

              If you downloaded a pre-compiled binary (e.g. from here http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool..._amd64.tar.bz2) then there is nothing more to do (except unzip the file, of course). The program is ready for use.

              If you are new to unix then getting the pre-compiled binaries may be the best option.

              Are you using Ubuntu?

                Thanks for your feedback.

                Yes I am using Ubuntu and I downloaded same version.
                I was just confused if i install it properly or not.
                Is there any command line by which I can assure if the program is installled correctly or not?

                Thanks... GenoMax

                  Once you "bunzip2" the file it should make a directory with the name "bin". The fastx toolkit executables will be in that directory. You can change to the bin directory and then try to run of of the files like this:

                  Code:
                  $ fastx_trimmer -h
                  That should produce some help output for the command.

                  In that case you are all set.

                    Thanks a lot Genomax.
                    With your help I am satisfied that I have install program in correct manner.
                    I appreciate that.

                    By any chance do you know how to install trinity?

                      Follow the directions on the trinity page (it is a "make" provided you have the dependencies).

                      There are a couple of threads that may help, if you run into problems:

                      Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc

                          Make is a utility that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called makefiles which specify how to derive the target program.

                                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.

                                by SEQadmin2



                                Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

                                There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

                                Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
