The hg19.3.bt2 index reference from iGenomes is only 4kb where as the other 5 .bt2 are 600-915MB. Is this right or should I re-download again? Thank you .

Why are you worried about the file size? If all the files are not right bowtie2 should complain.

BTW: That file is about that size in the HG19_UCSC version from iGenomes that I use.

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...

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.
