    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

            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.

            Single-Cell Sequencing at an Inflection Point: Early Impacts of New Platforms and Emerging Trends
            by SEQadmin2


            With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.

            Introduction

            Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...

            Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
            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...
