I used sudo apt-get remove fastqc to uninstall the older version, and then used the commands above to create a link within /usr/local/bin to the /FastQC directory. This works.
However, when I attempt to execute the command 'fastqc' elsewhere, I receive this error:
The program 'fastqc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install fastqc
If I go to the directory /FastQC or the symlinked directory /usr/local/bin/FastQC and type './fastqc' I receive the following message:
bash: ./fastqc: Permission denied
If I type 'perl fastqc' the interactive version loads perfectly, but I can only type this command from the /FastQC folder.
Something about permissions perhaps, I am not exactly sure, but I appreciate your help. I can still use the newest version which is what's important.

You may need to add execute permissions to the fastqc link and/or original executable. You can start by
Code:$ sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/fastqc
FastQC is a Java program. "perl fastqc" is probably ignoring first part of the command and running fastqc.Note to self. Think before posting, late on a friday.Last edited by GenoMax; 08-15-2014, 01:40 PM.

Firstly the permissions on the fastqc launch script aren't right and will need to be set so that it's executable. This might be everything you need to do.
To fix this move to the directory where you unzipped the FastQC installation and run the following command:
chmod 755 fastqc
..then try running fastqc again and see if it works.
The other issue you might have is that there is a stub for fastqc installed by your OS which is being found before the symlink you created. If fastqc isn't working after the first fix can you run:
which fastqc
..hopefully this should point to /usr/local/bin/fastqc, but if it doesn't can you post the location it gives, along with the results of:
echo $PATH

Hi all,
I recently tried the new FastQC version and it's a great tool. My problem is I used it on RNA-Seq expression data and the resulting graphs look different from what I expected reading the manual and tutorials.
This is one of my experiment samples after adapter trimming and processing. Especially the per base sequence content and per sequence GC content look wrong for me. Does anyone have an idea what might be the reason for those graphs? The sequence duplication graph is also weird but I guess that's due to expression bias of genes. Could the other graphs also be caused by those?
Thanks and keep up the nice work

Hi Simon,
thank you very much for the fast answer. The sample actually is a bacterial sample form a close relative of the blast result. I also guessed contamination but all reads I checked so far seem to come almost exclusively from the library organism. Then I thought about rRNA but not only should that have been removed before sequencing but I also used to remove remaining rRNA with sortMeRNA. That's why I'm a little lost atm.
But thanks for the effort. Will have to search for other contaminants then.
Cheers,
Tim

'which fastqc' does not return anything, with or without sudo before.
echo $PATH returns
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
In the meanwhile I can use the interactive version of FastQC rather than command line, or I can also use apt-get install fastqc to use the command line with a previous version until the bug tracker updates to the latest version.

It looks like the apt-get suggestions are happening at a higher level than the shell, so the fix will simply be to install the version of fastqc you installed into your path. Assuming you installed fastqc in /FastQC (as you said above) then the commands you'd need would be:
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /FastQC/fastqc .
You'll be asked to enter your password after the second command. Also note that the second command needs the trailing dot at the end of the command. This should then allow you to run fastqc from everywhere. After you've run it you will need to close and re-open your shell before it takes effect.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...-

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
