    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..

        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
