    Blast2go pipeline

    dear all,

    I have two questions about blast2go.

    1. Is the blast2go pipeline(b2g4pipe) still free to use. Because I checked the website of Blast2Go. The command line version need to buy. Are there any free software likw Blast2Go and it is free?

    2. I still have the version 2.5 of b2g4pipe. Today, I tried to run it again. I found I can not connect to database b2g_aug12 anymore, the error message is the following:

    Problem connecting to database b2g_aug12 on publicdb.blast2go.com as blast2go with password starts with bla*****: Syntax error or access violation, message from server: "Access denied for user 'blast2go'@'%' to database 'b2g_aug12'"
    Database or network connection (timeout) error for: publicdb.blast2go.com
    Annotation of 0 seqs with 0 annots finished. Now searching for orfan IPRs...
    B2G-Pipe finished

    Could somebody gives me a suggestion?

    Thank you.

    Silas

    The good news is that b2g4pipe v2.5 is still freely available at http://www.blast2go.com/data/blast2go/b2g4pipe_v2.5.zip

    This was working fine for me with automated testing for my Galaxy Blast2GO (for pipelines) wrapper against the older b2g_jun11 database until a few weeks ago. In the short term I disabled the test, but have not had time to investigate if a more recent database is still available to this older version of Blast2GO: https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_bl...982c1f9fef6987

    Note that I did see network/connection failures from time to time - so you should retest your system, perhaps at different times of day to try and connect at a low usage time (e.g. very early morning in Spain, late night in USA).

    However, it is clear that from v3 onwards BioBam Bioinformatics will be charging for the command line tool. It is possible they might stop supporting v2.x before too long, and given most people use their public database this would force upgrades. Wait and see?

      Thank you for your reply. At least the package v2.5 is still free. I found the current database becomes b2g_sep13. Now everything is okay.

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        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...

        Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

        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.
