  • install MACS

    I am trying to install MACS peak caller from deb but it is saying that I dont have python 2.6 install even though I have. What could be wrong?

  • #2
    I'm trying to install MACS version 1.4.2 and I have python version 2.7.4 installed in Ubuntu. The MACS website says Python version must be 2.6 or 2.7 and it fails to install for me saying "macs depends on python2.6". How can I install it and will it work with 2.7.4 or do I have to downgrade to 2.6 (or 2.7?).

      Might not be picking up your version of python.
      Code:
      python -V
      should indicate what version of python you have,
      Code:
      which python
      will indicate which binary of python is being used (in case you have multiple versions in play). Is your pythonpath env variable set correctly? Are you pointing to the correct python libraries?

      The other option is going from source. Even if you don't use the compiled binary, it'll probably spit out an error message if your install fails, and that will also be useful in troubleshooting.

      It looks like MACS bundles with a setup.py, so a python setup.py install --user should install MACS locally.

        Thank you I think it's working now, I used "python setup.pl install --user". When I type "./macs14 -h" or "./macs14 --version" it prints out the help or version number correctly.

            Saw that as well. I had originally posted instructions to pull the newest code from git and install it locally to --user, but you seem to have gotten that sorted out.

              Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
              by seqadmin




              The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

              Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
              by seqadmin


              Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
