    SPP -- ChIP-seq program installation??

    Hi all,

    I've been using Kharchenko et al's spp R package for calling peaks in ChIP-seq data for sometime. I've been really happy with it, and was trying to update to their latest version and am running into some real trouble

    I'm using a Mac OSX 10.6 machine, and I seem to be getting an error involving the use of a C "getline" function. I've gathered from researching the error I'm getting that this is because the function isn't supported by MacOS. Does anyone have ideas for a hack to fix this??? I've tried to do a few things myself but I'm in way over my head

    Below is the error I'm getting. Any help much appreciated!!!

    Code:
    $ sudo R CMD INSTALL spp_1.8.gz 
    Password:

    * Installing *source* package 'spp' ...

    The parts of the bed2vector.C file that seemed relevant I've reproduced below (the whole file was too big to attach!):
    Code:
    int get_a_line(FILE *f,BZFILE *b,int bz2file,string& line) {
      line="";
      if(bz2file) {
        int bzerror=get_bzline(b,line);
        if(bzerror==BZ_OK) {
          return(1);
        } else {
          if(bzerror!=BZ_STREAM_END) {
    	cerr<<"encountered BZERROR="<<bzerror<<endl;
          }
          return(0);
        }
      } else {
        char *cline=NULL;
        size_t n;
        if(getline(&cline,&n,f) != -1) {
          if(cline) {
    	cline[strlen(cline)-1]='\0';
    	line+=cline;
    	free(cline);
          }
          return(1);
        } else {
          return(0);
        }
      }
    }

    I hope I'm not totally mistaken but it rather looks like C is mixed with C++ and this has nothing to do with OSX. the getline function is coded in C-sytle within a C++ source.

    you should ask the author to correct it in case this package is considered a maintained package.

            No problem -- you may want to check out the new version that just came out. I haven't had a chance to try installing it yet, but looks like it should have some good new features.

                Hello, I came across the same problem but couldn't access the posted patch anymore. Could anybody please provide it again?
                Many thanks!

                    Thanks!
                    I renamed the file to bed2vector.cpp and placed it into spp/src/
                    I also needed to add the following include line to the file for the spp package to compile and install on my system:
                    #include <errno.h>

                      Just wanted to note, upgrading to SPP 1.11 version fixes this issue on the mac, so no patch needed. Just installed on OSX 10.6.8 with no issue

                        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
                        by SEQadmin2


                        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

                        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

                        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.
