    fastq-dump errors

    I'm getting two errors on certain fastq-dump jobs. I am submitting jobs to HTCondor using a dag file to manage downloads. I am queuing multiple jobs and sometimes I get the following errors:

    2016-03-31T03:17:24 fastq-dump.2.5.7 err: file unauthorized while opening file within network system module - log failure: RC(
    rcText,rcString,rcConverting,rcBuffer,rcInsufficient) in 'error with http open '$(U)''
    2016-03-31T03:17:24 fastq-dump.2.5.7 err: item not found while constructing within virtual database module - the path 'SRR0593
    27' cannot be opened as database or table

    The strange thing is that sometimes I get the errors and sometimes I don't, even for the same files. For instance if I download 10 files, and 5 return these errors, if I submit the same ten jobs again, some or all of the files which gave errors might download normally. I'm very confused about this, any suggestions would be great. (I think the second error is the result of the first because these files seem to exist.)

    If it's any consolation we gave up trying to understand all of the fastq-dump errors we saw and we now have a loop in our pipeline which simply tries the command again (up to 5 times) before deciding that there really is an error. a scary number of fastq-dump errors are not reproducible :-(

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      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
