I think I need libcurl (version 7.14.0 or higher) as I'm working on linux but can't figure out how to do that. Can someone please suggest something asap.
thanks in advance

Thanks a lot everyone. I have successfully installed ShortRead package on my system.Comment

Can you explain how you solved the remaining problems? That would help anyone else reading this thread in future (e.g. from a Google search with the error message).Comment

Yes,sure.
after installing libxml,the main problem was having libcurl on my system.As I'm working on linux,libcurl has to be explicitly installed and I did that using Ubuntu software center.After that type source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("ShortRead")
and it gets installed.Comment

You should add that you have not only installed the curl library but also the header files, which are required to compile other stuff (such as Bioconductor packages) using the library. Therefore, it is important to chose the 'dev 'package ('libcurl-dev', not only 'libcurl' and 'libxml2-dev', not only 'libxml2') when installing system libraries that an R package needs.Comment

Now I'm getting following error in using readFastq function:
readFastq("home/linux/sratoolkit.2.34-2-centos_linux64/bin",pattern="SRR039194_1.fastq")
Error: Input/Output
no input files found
dirPath: home/linux/sratoolkit.2.34-2-centos_linux64/bin
pattern: SRR039194_1.fastq
any suggestions on how to go about?
please respond asap.

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.

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...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
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.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
