  • Install ea-utils

    Hi, I am new to Bioinformatics and Linux, I have dowloaded ea-utils 1.1.2-537 in my Ubuntu box and unzipped it. I tried to use the fastq-join with my paired reads but the following message appeared:
    fastq-joint command not found
    Is there something else i need to do to install ea-utils in my box?
    Thank you

    I don't recommend fastq-join; in my tests, it's worse than pretty much every alternative other than Pear.

      Probably not (assuming ea-utils are already compiled). You may need to add execute permissions

      Code:
      $ chmod u+x /path_to/fastq-join
      or provide full path to fastq-join as you try to run it

      Code:
      $ /path_to/fastq-join your_R1_file your_R2_file

          That means it is source code that needs to be compiled. There should be a readme-type document included in the source to tell you how to compile the code to make executable files.

          Generally a
          Code:
          $ make
          in the directory may be all that is needed.

            you mean this:

            make home/sylvie/desktop/ea-utils.1.1.2-537/

            or make home/sylvie/desktop/ea-utils.1.1.2-537 ?

                fastq-join works OK, you just need to relax it because it is so stringent. I use -m 30 -p 30 with good success. Some data is crappier than other data and may need additional grooming before it can be successfully merged.

                  Late here:
                  Last I recall installing, ea-utils needed libgsl-dev library to install

                    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                    by seqadmin


                    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
