    unzipping human bowtie indexes

    Does anyone have a solution to unzipping the human index files needed for bowtie taken from http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/md5s.shtml.

    unzip h_sapiens_asm.ebwt.1.zip
    Error: End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile or it is a multi-part archive

    I also tried the 2 parts, but still received the same error
    h_sapiens_asm.ebwt.1.zip
    h_sapiens_asm.ebwt.2.zip

    Thanks for any help

    I had experienced same problem, so gave up and ended up building bowtie indexes on my own, but it took lot of time (more than 4 hrs)

      Tried it just now and didn't have any problems:

      $ wget ftp://ftp.cbcb.umd.edu/pub/data/bowt...asm.ebwt.1.zip
      --10:32:47-- ftp://ftp.cbcb.umd.edu/pub/data/bowt...asm.ebwt.1.zip
      => `h_sapiens_asm.ebwt.1.zip'
      Resolving ftp.cbcb.umd.edu... 128.8.119.241
      (snip)
      10:37:13 (6.27 MB/s) - `h_sapiens_asm.ebwt.1.zip' saved [1749293837]

      $ unzip h_sapiens_asm.ebwt.1.zip
      Archive: h_sapiens_asm.ebwt.1.zip
      inflating: h_sapiens_asm.1.ebwt

      Did you check the MD5 to be sure you got the entire file w/o corruption? If so, can you give the output of 'unzip --version'? Here's mine:

      benjamin-langmeads-macbook-pro:tmp langmead$ unzip --version

        Hi Ben,
        I was talking about clicking on any of the link under "pre built indices" section of the page:
        http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/, will download the file but throws error while trying to open, not sure both ftp and web page indices sections are sourced from same place.

          Hi guys,

          I still can't recreate it. Whether I wget it or click on it in Safari, it works fine. Can you try again to make sure it wasn't a temporary connection problem? And if it still doesn't work, can you give me the relevant OS/software details?

          Thanks,
          Ben

            However the problem seems to be at the downloading stage.

              OK, I see that now too. Looks like the UMD FTP server is having issues:

                Hi all,

                I have downloaded build hg18 from ucsc.

                command to build the index:
                ./bowtie-build -f chr1.fa chr2.fa chr3.fa chr4.fa chr5.fa chr6.fa chr7.fa chr8.fa chr9.fa chr10.fa chr11.fa chr12.fa chr13.fa chr14.fa chr15.fa chr16.fa chr17.fa chr18.fa chr19.fa chr20.fa chr21.fa chr22.fa chrX.fa chrY.fa indexes/hg18

                chr2.fa.1.ebwt,chr2.fa.2.ebwt,chr2.fa.3.ebwt,chr2.fa.4.ebwt plus the 2 rev.ebwt files are created but the loop starts from chr2, not chr1. Secondly, the indexing stops once chr2.fa has been indexed. Comma separating the .fa files does not help.



                Thanks to anyone who can help

                  I downloaded the human genome index today and it worked fine. Earlier I used the .asm index, but its headers are really long, and thus the generated results are not directly usable in ucsc, unless you sed and replace those with chr1 and so on...

                    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
                    by SEQadmin2



                    CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

                    Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

                    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.
