    SMRT Tools Ubuntu 12.04 required?

    In short: Is anyone running SMRT Tools on Ubuntu 14.04 or higher?

    My longer question:
    We're planning to use SMRT tools. What surprises me are the system requirements listing Ubuntu 12.04 and older
    Isn't this a bit problematic, first of all the support is going to run out soon (security risks...). Second, I am limited to older Xeon CPUs -as far as I know, the new ones aren't supported by 12.04.
    So do SMRT tools really need 12.04 or can I install a newer Ubuntu version; any experiences?

      Which version of SMRT Tools are you considering installing? The latest versions should have no problem installing on Ubuntu 14.04.

          The latest version should be fine. So you are running it on Ubuntu 14.04?
          Have you ever tried 16.04?
          Thanks a lot for you reply!

              I have installed smrtlink on my personal Ubuntu 14.04 laptop and it works fine. I haven't tried it on 16.04, but I can't think of any reasons off the top of my head why it wouldn't work.

                  I've run SMRT portal / tools (~ v2.3.0) on ubuntu 14.04 and not run in to any issues

                      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                      ...
