    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..

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

        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
