    aligning .sra files in colorspace with fasta reference genome

    Hello
    I am currently doing an intership in bioinformatics and I am looking for a good pipeline to process abi SOLiD data coming from the NCBI sra-data repository.
    The eventual goal is to perform peakcalling on an alignment coming from a colorspace fastq and a plain fasta reference genome.

    I'm having trouble finding a good (working) tool to align the colorspace fastq and the fasta genome. Does anyone have any tips?

    I already know it's not a good idea to convert colorspace to basespace, so I'm looking for alternatives. Bowtie and BWA don't seem to work for me...

    much thanks!

    I seem to remember that BFAST was specifically written for colorspace data.

      Thx! I'm looking into BFast, but it seems to have problems with indexing my fasta genome.

      "In function "BfastIndexValidateInputs": Fatal Error[IllegalFileName]. Variable/Value: mask."

      I'm sure though that my fasta file is in order, the fasta2bgr module of BFast doens't throw this error..

        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
