    autoAug.pl cannot start Launch_PASA_pipeline

    Dear Colleagues!

    Could someone advise me on Augustus?
    I am trying to train Augustus for my fungus species using RNA-seq data. I believe I have installed all the programs it requires, but when I start it like this:

    autoAug.pl --genome /path-to-genome.fasta --species=myspecies --cdna=/path-to-RNA-seq.fasta -v -v --pasa --useexisting --verbose --workingdir=/path-to-workingdir

    it stops after trying to start Launch_PASA_pipeline. The CLI error says the following:

    "Failed to execute, possible reasons could be:
    1. There is already a database named "PASAmyspecies" in your mysql host.
    2. The software "slclust" is not installed correctly, try to install it again (see the details in the PASA documentation).
    3. The fasta headers in cDNA or genome file were not unique.
    Inspect /path-to/Launch_PASA_pipeline.stderr for PASA error messages."

    It is the same if I use the test training set.
    Dropping the mysql database does not help.
    slclust is installed and is in my PATH
    I don't see how the headers could be not unique.



    The Launch_PASA_pipeline.stderr says the following:
    "Error, must specify at least one primary aligner via --ALIGNER or imported via --IMPORT... at /home/dmitrii/biotools/PASApipeline-2.0.2/scripts/Launch_PASA_pipeline.pl line 314."

    I have no experience with PERL at all, but that line says smth about choosing between gmap and blat. I thought that blat was the default aligner and this did not have to be a problem. I could not find in manuals, which configuration file should I change to change the --ALIGNER parameter.

    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

    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.
