  • fastX barcode splitter

    I am trying to use fastX barcode splitter perl script on my fastq file. However, every time I run the program I get this message Error: barcode file not specified (use '--bcfile [FILENAME]'). All I am doing is dragging the perl script into terminal, and dragging the fastq file into the terminal and hit enter and that what i get. Can anybody please help me

    Drag and drop is probably not going to work. Instead open the terminal and then on the command line prompt run the program (you will have to take care of all file paths) following the usage example shown here: http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool...splitter_usage

      To expound a bit on GenoMax's reply, you're only dragging and dropping part of the full command (the error message you received indicates this). In addition to the perl script and the fastq file, you need to type " --bcfile " and then drag the file specifying the barcodes after that. Reading error messages will usually allow you to figure out what's wrong.

        Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
        by seqadmin


        The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
