I am trying to run macs14 with sam files from paired-end data + control. Macs14 returns "No such file":

Code:

sb7904313:line2 $ macs14 -t /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s5/clean_paired_sample.sam -c /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s11/clean_paired_sample.sam 
-bash: macs14 -t /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s5/clean_paired_sample.sam -c /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s11/clean_paired_sample.sam : No such file or directory

Yet the files exist:

Code:

sb7904313:line2 $ ls -all /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s5/clean_paired_sample.sam
-rw-r--r--  1 nn  staff  24776263204 28 Nov 11:51 /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s5/clean_paired_sample.sam
sb7904313:line2 $ ls -all /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s11/clean_paired_sample.sam
-rw-r--r--  1 nn  staff  14223812120 28 Nov 12:19 /Volumes/Data/G6L2_G6L3/s11/clean_paired_sample.sam

Macs14 seems to be correctly installed:

Code:

sb7904313:line2 $ macs14 --version
macs14 1.4.2 20120305

I am just stumped. Can you give advice?

--EDIT: Thanks to Istvan (http://www.biostars.org/p/87694/#87757) I realized it is an operating system-related issue.

The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

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,...
