    Samtools mac install problems

    Hello - relative bioinformatics newbie here, so apologies in advance if these are stupid questions!

    I'm trying to install Samtools (tried both 1.4.1 and 1.5) on Mac OS X 10.11.6.

    I seem to get through the install process (using ./configure, make and make install without any error messages, but it seems to me that the resulting Samtools folder only contains a limited selection of the executables that should be available:

    ace2sam* export2sam.pl* maq2sam-short* novo2sam.pl* sam2vcf.pl* seq_cache_populate.pl* wgsim*
    blast2sam.pl* interpolate_sam.pl* md5fa* plot-bamstats* samtools* soap2sam.pl* wgsim_eval.pl*
    bowtie2sam.pl* maq2sam-long* md5sum-lite* psl2sam.pl* samtools.pl* varfilter.py* zoom2sam.pl*

    For example, faidx is not there. Am I missing something here - is there another folder with the rest of the executables?

    Thanks in advance!

    I answered your identical question on Biostars: https://www.biostars.org/p/258576/ already.

      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
