    That's great news.
    From my (very brief) test it works fine.

      Another cross-platform command-line alternative is my bsclient software:

      Download bsclient for free. An interactive FTP-like command-line BaseSpace download client. bsclient is an interactive text-based client for browsing and downloading files from Illumina BaseSpace. It has a simple interface simliar to FTP and can be used to easily download files onto a remote server or in any situation when the web-based interface is not accessible or desirable.


      It was written prior to the existence of BaseMount when I wanted an interactive tool for headless server downloads, a niche which BaseMount also fills. One advantage is that not all users will have mount permissions on the server they're using - a requirement for BaseMount but not for bsclient.

        BaseMount is now regular access:

          basemount is weird.

          Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has experience with mounting their BaseSpace account and regularly using it (reading, copying from it, etc). I was just trying to change the permissions of the directory where I mounted it and I can't.... even though I am the server's admin.

            I have yet to figure out how to mount basemount so it's writable but am not sure if that's related to the server that I'm mounting on rather than basemount itself. The server I"m using uses fusermount which seems to do very strange things to basemount (ie. to unmount basemount, I have to chmod my entire home directory to 775 not just the folder containing the mountpoint).

              Following is logical speculation.

              It is possible that Illumina provides "read-only" mounts of your basespace account (to prevent inadvertent mistakes).

                That makes sense to me and is a good idea but I thought that basemount was supposed to enable uploading projects as well as downloading (i.e. if you don't want to use standard demultiplexing).

                My biggest issue with the permissions problem (again, not sure if it was basemount or fusemount) was that I couldn't unmount which meant that I couldn't get new data

                  Yes... I guess we would have to take a look at the code to figure out wth with the permissions. I did something lazy which is just an importer that hard links to the files and changes permissions in the destination directory then the fastq files can be used automatically in my pipeline.

                  ps. Thanks a million for replying! I'm kinda new here, it's nice to receive the email saying someone interacted with you

                    Still have absolutely no idea how to do this.

                      There is an OSX downloader but it wasn't Snow Leopard compatible which left out my slightly older Mac Pro. At that point I looked at the python thing but decided it looked too complicated and it was easier to find a different machine. get-mobdro.com tubemate

                        I actually made a markdown tutorial of how to download basespace files through your terminal. Should work on LINUX.
                        Let me know if it works! : https://github.com/samd1993/bioinfor...20Basespace.md

                            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.
