    Bowtie and samtools questions

    I'm new in sequencing analysis and have a couple of questions to ask.

    1. I’m trying to use bowtie-inspect to reconstruct fasta file from the BOWTIE index, but couldn’t get anything. I’m using 12.7 version.

    Here is the command:
    ./bowtie-inspect e_coli

    Then I got the following output, but nothing else:
    Command: ./bowtie-inspect e_coli

    Why I cannot run bowtie-inspect? Is there anything wrong?

    2. I installed samtools and try to produce a .fai file with "samtools faidx", but I got the following errors.

    ./samtools: No such file or directory
    or
    samtools: command not found

    How do I run samtools? Is there anything wrong I did?

    Thanks a lot!

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
