    Is there bowtie source code only for linux?

    Hi!
    I started studing bowtie recently.
    I want to see the source code of bowtie for windows.
    But I found it only for linux, and execution file for windows not source code.
    So I tried to change the source code from linux to windows.
    But It's very difficult to me!!

    Is not there bowtie's source code for windows?
    please help!

    Did you try Google? e.g. Hits from here on seqanswers.com include:
    Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc

    It looks like the BowTie project provides binaries ready for use on Windows. In fact going to their download page on sourceforge the latest version is 0.12.7 and there is a nice looking bowtie-0.12.7-win32.zip file - try that. No sign of a 64bit version for Windows though.

      Hi maubp!
      I have searched that in Google and found bowtie's binary files for Windows already.
      And I will try to execute bowtie used by visual studio in Windows.
      So I looked for bowtie's source code, and checked that source code.
      But that is for linux.

      When I tried to build the source code in visual studio, I looked many errors...

        It is possible bowtie for Windows is intended to be compiled with gcc or cygwin, not the Microsoft compiler. You could ask on their mailing list for advice, but it would be simplest to try the provided binaries first.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          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.
