if you want to progress in bioinformatics, go for linux.
There aren't a lot of bioinformatic tools on windows.

But if you are right about most bioinformatics tools being available for Linux, than maybe Linux would be a better choice after all.Comment

Trouble installing CLC genomics on Ubuntu 12.04
Dear all,
I am new to using NGS analysis tools being a biologist with very limited knowledge about programming. I was browsing about NGS analysis tools which were beginner friendly. I came across CLC genomics workbench and downloaded it onto a Ubuntu workstation (64bit) with 16GB ram. However, the rpm package wont install (inspite of using Alien). The error message i get is the following :
~$ sudo alien CLCGenomicsWorkbench_5_5_2_64.rpm
error: incorrect format: unknown tag
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package CLCGenomicsWorkbench: postinst prerm
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
cpio: premature end of file
CLCGenomicsWorkbench_5_5_2_64.rpm is for architecture i386 ; the package cannot be built on this system
I would appreciate if someone guides me through the installation.
Thanks and regardsComment

.rpm works for Redhat based Linux distributions (rpm = redhat package management).Originally posted by GopalJayaraj View Post
Ubuntu is a Debian based distribution. It needs .deb files, or the installation needs to be built from source.
Edit: Sorry, just noticed that you were using "alien." No experience with that.Last edited by lethalfang; 12-14-2012, 06:45 PM.Comment

Just use the sh installer, not the rpm.Comment

install CLC on ubuntu with rpm??? Alien did not work
hi, I am having trouble installing clc workbench on an ubuntu 12.04 version.
How do i get the rpm package to install on ubuntu, i tried "alien" and did not work:
error says: wrong architecture, it says clc is a 32 bit, yet i downloaded the 64 bit.
My ubuntu is 64bit.
Thanks for any suggestions!!!
cheers

As I wrote in the previous post: use the sh installer, not the RPM.
And if you have downloaded the installer, it should look like CLCGenomicsWorkbench_6_5_64.sh (with correct version numbers). The final '_64' indicates that this is a 64bit installer ...Comment

thanks!!!
i did not see the sh installer.

The ".sh" installer should be on the same page where you downloaded the rpm installer from. I can see it on a page I get to when I choose "update" from my copy. Both 32- and 64-bit versions are available.
Email tech support at CLC to get the link for a direct download for the .sh installer, if you are a registered user.Last edited by GenoMax; 12-06-2013, 07:18 AM.Comment

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.

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
