Can someone help me with steps on how to install meraculous genome assembler? I used their manual but I keep having this error "undefined reference to pthreads...".

Pthreads itself is not used by Meraculous but it's something that your installation of Boost can be linked to, and that sometimes causes problems. What version are you using? v.4.0.4.1 should be more pthreads-friendy -
Am using boost 1.57.0. What is v.4.0.4.1?Comment

Sorry, I meant 2.0.4.1, and that's the version of Meraculous. Your boost version should be ok, although we've only tested it with v. 1.50.0. The issue is really about how your Boost is installed. If it relies on pthread libraries then older versions of Meraculous (or rather the installer files) didn't know how to deal with them.Comment

Thank you. I'll try those versions of Meraculous and Boost.Comment

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 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...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
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.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
