    RepeatScout and RepeatMasker

    I'm looking for help with running RepeatMasker on RepeatScout output. The documentation just says

    "RepeatMasker is run on the sequence of interest using this filtered RepeatScout library."

    RepeatScout is the most recent version. The first three steps run fine with the example data provided with RepeatScout (human3M.fa). A fasta output file (test2.fa) is the result. RepeatMasker is the most recent version installed with hmmer 3.1b2 (precompiled).

    The command line for RepeatMasker is:

    perl ../RepeatMasker/RepeatMasker human3M.fa -lib test2.fa

    The output is

    RepeatMasker version open-4.0.7
    Search Engine: HMMER [ 3.1b2 (February 2015) ]
    RepeatMasker::createLib(): Error invoking /usr/local/bin/hmmpress on file /home/au154761/src/sci/RepeatScout-master/RM_20800.SunJan282116242018/test2.fa.

    It seems that hmmer requires some format other than fasta, but RepeatScout does not provide any guidance.

    Any suggestions?

    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
