    Centos for Roche 454 Data Analysis software

    I have just set up Centos 6 64 bit as an OS on my computer. But when I tried to install the Data Analysis software, I kept getting an error message saying a series of 4 lib-related .i386 files are missing, thus cannot continue with installation. I tried using Yum to install the missing files, but it always return no package found. So I downloaded the DVD for the 32bit OS hoping to find the files there. To my surprise, the equivalent lib-related files still have the extension .i686. I have no idea what to do next, should I give in and try Fedora instead? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Tx in advance.

    I tried to install an earlier version of the Software in Centos (5 I think) and it worked well. We now switched to Fedora and it still installs perfectly.
    The error you've got reminds me of the troubles we had when trying to install it on Ubuntu. I'd recommend change to Fedora unless you need Centos for compatibility reasons...

      lyuen,

      I have installed Roche DataAnalysis 2.5.3 on CentOS 5.5 64 bit without any problems. What exactly were the libraries it was complaining about not finding?

        I don't bother with the graphical version, but just install the command line versions onto Ubuntu and Suse servers. You can just directly unpack the tarballs in the packages directory and link them to your ~/bin/.

          install the .i686 equivalent libraries.
          I am running CentOS 6 along with both 2.3 & 2.5 successfully.

            The files the software claim missing are zlib.i386, libXi.i386, libXtst.i386 and libXaw.i386. I think the equivalent .i686 files are present, but DataAnalysis still complained. The Roche software is for a GS Junior v2.5p1, and the CentOS version is 6, if that make a difference? I was trying to install Fedora 15 instead yesterday, but half way through installation, it just stopped. Thought I might try Fedora 13 today, from web it seems to be more stable. It is a bit frustrating. Many thanks for all the suggestions so far.

              Hi All, I've finally got the software installed on Fedora 13 32-bit. I don't have any experience with linux so I have trouble understanding why I had so much trouble while everyone else had no problem. I wonder whether it is due to version differences in the softwares for GS Junior and GS FLX. Anyway, I'm really happy now that I can actually move onto the data analysis phase. Many thanks for your suggestions. Cheers.

                I have installed the DataAnalysis(version: 2.8) on CentOS 6.3 today. Do as the following: first, yum install glibc.i686, but it didn't work! When i installed the DataAnalysis without those *.i386 library, run "/opt/454/bin/gsMapper", it shows " Exception in thread 'main' java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/454/apps/jre/jre1.6.0_30/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
                second, installing the libXext.so.6(download from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...y=libXtst.so.6) like this: yum localinstall libXtst-1.0.99.2-3.el6.i686.rpm then type "/opt/454/bin/gsMapper";
                Finaly, it's working without error message !

                  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
