Does anyone know if it's possible to install the DataProcessing and DataAnalysis software in a location other than /opt/454? I emailed Roche support this question on Jan 7th and called them a couple of days ago but they have not yet responded.

Yes it is possible at least for programs such as gsRunProcessor, gsAssembler, runAssembly, etc. We have ours installed in /usr/local/rig/bin/ on one machine and in my personal directory on another. Set the RIGDIR. E.g., in my bash profile I have
RIGDIR=$HOME/454; export RIGDIR
PATH=$RIGDIR/bin:$PATH; export PATH
(BTW: Yes, I know there are other ways of exporting) -
Sorry, should have been more specific. This pertains to version 2.5.3 for which Roche has gone to the GUI based Nixstaller and this gives no option for changing the default install path. Maybe you can simply bypass this installer and manually install the RPMs in the desired location?Comment

I should have explicitly said that both of my machines are off-rig ones. The computer actually attached to the instrument is probably using /opt. That being said, perhaps because I just upgraded I had no problems. A denovo install may have problems. A printout from the computer where I have the software installed in my own directory:
> which gsRunProcessor
~/454/bin/gsRunProcessor
> gsRunProcessor -V
gsRunProcessor 2.5.3 (20101201_1432)

So all I can say is that installing elsewhere should be feasible.Comment

Have you figured out how to install 454 software in a custom directory? I need help with this and I didn't get any response from Roche.Comment

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
