    bowtie - windows instalation

    Hello.
    I am trying Bowtie. It seams very fast and efficient!
    However I have a minor problem in my installation (windows XP)

    1 - I downloaded Bowtie from the link

    file: bowtie-0.9.8.1-bin-win32.zip

    2 - Unzipped to C:/bowtie

    3 - Test it:

    bowtie -t e_coli reads/e_coli_1000.fq e_coli.map

    Bowtie website says:
    "This run calculates the same alignments as the previous run, but the alignments are written to e_coli.map (the final argument) rather than to the screen. Also, the -t option instructs Bowtie to print timing statistics, which will look something like this (times will obviously differ):

    Time loading forward index: 00:00:00
    Time loading mirror index: 00:00:00
    Seeded quality full-index search: 00:00:01
    Reported 699 alignments to 1 output stream(s)
    Time searching: 00:00:01
    Overall time: 00:00:01

    "

    However in my computer the output stops after the first two lines and stays like that forever if I let him.
    Something like this:

    Time loading forward index: 00:00:00
    Time loading mirror index: 00:00:00


    When I check the file with the results (e_coli.map) it seams complete. With the 699 lines...

    I am not sure if I should have done some compilation or installation of Bowtie before starting the runs. I merely downloaded it into a folder and execute the command..
    Any ideas or thoughts?

    Thanks!
    Ines

    Hi Ines,

    I am aware of this problem and am going to take a look at it soon. It most likely has something to do with the MinGW pthreads library.

    No, you don't need to do any compilation or installation beyond just unzipping the package - the error is my fault.

    Thanks,
    Ben

      bowtie runs well in cygwin.
      would a windows installation be preferable over a linux one in cygwin?

        dear All,

        I have recently joint the forum, it is interesting. Actually i want to use Bowite Tool for 72 bp fragments of illumina read (microbail genome) assembling via windowXp based operating system. could any one guide me from very basics of window based installation and operation of this tool. Previously i have assemble a genome with DNAStar tool. Any body could help please. ? his/her help will be highly appreciated.

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          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.
