    samtools installation

    Hi everyone,
    Can anyone show me how to install samtools step by step?
    I hope someone answers this naive question::

    best,

        you download the source, compile, then move the binary to your local bin directory. Here are some links to help (the first few links from google):

          Thanks milshmore, unfortunately still have the following error.
          When I use the quick and dirty SAMtools install, i get this:
          Code:

              I got the same problem. This still without some solution?

                What is "same problem"? With cygwin, suse,..? Errors?

                  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.
