What Operating System Do You Use For Analysis?
I'm interested to know what operating systems people here use. This will help me and others decided what platforms to focus testing on.

I'd also be interested to know what distro the Linux users use. This may help as well. Perhaps maintainers or others could also add why they use this particular distro?
I run my analysis on an Ubuntu server, Jaunty. I just use the available server, so I can't say anything useful about why it runs Jaunty. -
The workstation I use currently runs Slackware64.-13.0, but it will be upgraded to 13.1 sometime soon. I chose Slackware due to my own familiarity with it, plus support is readily available. I've had people in the Slackware community help me get things working, even if they didn't know much of the tools themselves.Comment

I think most of the people that uses mac, they use them for the initial coding and prototyping, idea testing and then they through the real deal to a HPC cluster, typically linux based.Originally posted by john_mu View Post-drdComment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
