    SamTools installation in Ubuntu

    Hi
    I am trying to compile SamTools on Ubuntu 13.01 ( dual boot on macbook pro). But when I am trying to run "make" its throwing me the following error. I tried all the solutions available on the forums but it fails to work. Can someone please suggest what to do?The error is:

    gcc -c -g -Wall -O2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_USE_KNETFILE -D_CURSES_LIB=1 -I. bam_tview_curses.c -o bam_tview_curses.o
    bam_tview_curses.c:5:20: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
    #include <curses.h>
    ^
    compilation terminated.
    make[1]: *** [bam_tview_curses.o] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Downloads/samtools-0.1.19'
    make: *** [all-recur] Error 1

    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
    Should do it or install libncurses5-dev using the software center.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


          The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
