    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.

        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.
