    path error for samtools-1.2 after re-install

    I recently re-install ubuntu and am getting a path error, but things seem like they are added.

    Code:
    cmccabe@HPZ640:~$ echo $PATH
    /home/cmccabe/Desktop/ngs_analysis/samtools-1.2/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
    cmccabe@HPZ640:~$ cd "/home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS"
    cmccabe@HPZ640:~/Desktop/NGS$ samtools view -H /media/cmccabe/C2F8EFBFF8EFAFB9/pool_I_090215/IonXpress_008_150902.bam | sed '/^@PG/d' | samtools reheader - /media/cmccabe/C2F8EFBFF8EFAFB9/pool_I_090215/IonXpress_008_150902.bam > /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/pool_I_090215/IonXpress_008_150902_newheader.bam
    The program 'samtools' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

    What am I doing wrong? Thank you .

    My samtools is in .../samtools-1.2/bin ... you do not have the 'bin' path in your path thus I suspect that is your problem. Do an

    ls /home/cmccabe/Desktop/ngs_analysis/samtools-1.2/

    And see what you have there. Then a

    ls /home/cmccabe/Desktop/ngs_analysis/samtools-1.2/bin

    And see what is there.

      I do not have a /bin but added the path of where all the binaries are. I am getting a permission denied error and I'm not sure why. Thank you .

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
