        How did you install and run fastx toolkit in linux

        Hi,

        I am new to NGS data analysis.
        Can you please tell me how you installed and run the fastx toolkit in linux.
        I would greatly appreciate your help.

        Thanks

          The install instructions are on the download page: http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/download.html

          What OS are you using (or are planning to use)?

            I also follow same protocol for installation.
            I am using linux 64.

            After typing
            make
            message apperas like: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

            After typing
            sudo make install
            message apperas like: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

            Can you please explain what does this mean.

            Thanks

              If you downloaded a pre-compiled binary (e.g. from here http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool..._amd64.tar.bz2) then there is nothing more to do (except unzip the file, of course). The program is ready for use.

              If you are new to unix then getting the pre-compiled binaries may be the best option.

              Are you using Ubuntu?

                Thanks for your feedback.

                Yes I am using Ubuntu and I downloaded same version.
                I was just confused if i install it properly or not.
                Is there any command line by which I can assure if the program is installled correctly or not?

                Thanks... GenoMax

                  Once you "bunzip2" the file it should make a directory with the name "bin". The fastx toolkit executables will be in that directory. You can change to the bin directory and then try to run of of the files like this:

                  Code:
                  $ fastx_trimmer -h
                  That should produce some help output for the command.

                  In that case you are all set.

                    Thanks a lot Genomax.
                    With your help I am satisfied that I have install program in correct manner.
                    I appreciate that.

                    By any chance do you know how to install trinity?

                      Follow the directions on the trinity page (it is a "make" provided you have the dependencies).

                      There are a couple of threads that may help, if you run into problems:

                      Discussion of next-gen sequencing related bioinformatics: resources, algorithms, open source efforts, etc

                        make commond means it helps to update files correct?

                          Make is a utility that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called makefiles which specify how to derive the target program.

                                From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
                                by SEQadmin2


                                Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


                                The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

                                by SEQadmin2

                                Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


                                Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
