Hi,
Im a biologist, very newbie to bioinformatics tools.
I am interested in retrieving raw sequence data of all individuals
from different populations, with regards to a particular gene, for eg.
AGTR1 from the 1000genomes database. this requires me to use Data slicer in 1000genomes that will give the BAM files with alignment data in the region of the gene of interest.
To open BAM files I need to use samtools. However, I cannot find an exe file for samtools. then based on the treads of this forum, I read that one need to install cygwin, then install samtools from within cygwin. Or do I need a linux OS.
Could anyone please give some advice?
Thanx
