    Asking for help on "BUILDING EXPANDED GENOMES" by Caltech ERANGE

    referring to http://woldlab.caltech.edu/erange/README.build-rds,

    0. is "http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/knownGene.txt.gz" under "http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/" the right table to input to getsplicefa.py for hg19?

    1. it is mentioned "Download the chromosomes from UCSC", what is the exact right file to download?
    1.1 is it fine for me to use bowtie-inspect to "output a FASTA file containing the sequences of the original references (with all non-A/C/G/T characters converted to Ns)"( http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/ma...ndex-inspector)
    from the pre-built index @ ftp://ftp.cbcb.umd.edu/pub/data/bowt.../hg19.ebwt.zip under http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/index.shtml, and then take the result as "the chromosomes from UCSC
    " to be input to getsplicefa.py??

    1.2 http://woldlab.caltech.edu/erange/RN...lysisSteps.txt has an sample command line: "python $ERANGEPATH/getsplicefa.py hsapiens /my/path/to/human/knownGene.txt hg18splice32.fa 28"

    However, I tried it but failed: "
    xu@linux18> python getsplicefa.py Human.txt knownGene.txt expandedgenome_spacer2maxBorder27.fa 27
    psyco not running
    getsplicefa.py: version 3.5
    72402
    655896
    10002 genes
    20003 genes
    30004 genes
    40005 genes
    50006 genes
    60007 genes
    70008 genes
    3624 splices too short to be seen
    555 splices will be under-reported"

    it seems Human.txt (the result of reverse engineering on ftp://ftp.cbcb.umd.edu/pub/data/bowt.../hg19.ebwt.zip mentioned above ) could not be identified by getsplicefa.py at all.

    1.3 And I am totally lost the way on setting H_sapiens(with a set of chromo1.bin~chromo22.bin and chromoX/Y.bin file and hsapiens.genedb) to be aware by cistematic core and ERANGE's getsplicefa


    2. Where should the downloaded "chromosomes from UCSC" be located compared with the scripts under ../ERANGE3.2.1/commoncode?

    3. "http://woldlab.caltech.edu/erange/README.rna-seq" mentions "build expanded genomes with splices and spikes"
    there is a "mm9splices_spikes.tgz (the files for building the expanded genomes and remapping splices) ", then my question is
    .what is the relationship of mm9splices_spikes.tgz with knownGene.txt?
    . Is such a file different from knownGene.txt necessary to build the expanded genome of hg19? if so, how can it be available?

    4.for Cistematic 3.0, "You will need to download the following packages: * cistematic3.0.tgz * db2.0.tgz"
    However, where should the files in db2.0.tgz be put? .../cistematic3.0/db, the folder in cistematic3.0.tgz ?

    5. there is many puzzles mentioned @ http://seqanswers.com/ on how to set the CISTEMATIC_ROOT, ERANGEPATH, PYTHONPATH, CISTEMATIC_TEMP.
    Would you please issue a working solution by a big while detailed picture of your varibale/path setting and the organization of the files of ERANGE, CISTEMATIC, "chromosomes from UCSC" and knownGene.txt?

    6. My RNA-seq's reads' length is diverse(from 13nt to 31 nt), how should I set the spacer and maxBorder in the scenario of hg 19 and varying (13nt-31nt) reads length?

    7. Once the expanded genome is ready from getsplicefa.py, may I immediately use ./bowtie-build to generate the index and then map with ./Bowtie ?

    8. how should such a spliced mapping results be fed to a peak finder? I've no experience with the later workflow of spliced mapping before.

    Sorry about so many questions, but it seems they are common questions shared by many green hand of ERANGE, please issue me some guidance if feasible

    Best,
    jie

    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
