Can anybody tell me how to install samtools in a WinXP system?

And how to unzip the installation files? I don't know UNIX. Where can I find useful information? -
help! Any tiny hint!Comment

Ok. Couple points of etiquette here.
First...please don't rebump your thread every few minutes.
Second, the first hit in a search for "samtools on winxp site:seqanswers.com" is this thread. http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5379
Lastly, your questions are much more likely to get answered if you take some initiative and show that you're at least trying to help yourself. If you have encountered a basic problem like unzipping files on unix and can't help yourself to a solution via Google/StackOverflow, etc, then you're going to be in trouble.
That's pretty much as polite as I can be given your basic etiquette violations.

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.
