      I am using MobaXterm on windows to access the server. Can it do the same thing as putty? If so then I need advise on how to explore instead of installing a new program!

      Thanks

        No installation is required for PuTTY (it is a very small program that you run directly). http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s.../download.html

        You would want to use X11 only if a reliable (good, speed-wise) internet connection is available.

          For my case what will be the host name or IP address?

          Thanks

            IP address or name of the server you are using.

              This gives a blank configured session. is this normal?

                Are you using the "basic host name" you use with MobaXterm and the same user name with PuTTY?

                MobaXterm appears to include some form of X11 so you may be able to use that program (http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/documentation.html#2_3_5).

                  I have succeeded in configuring putty, however when I launch Xming, I do not an X-shaped icon on the right corner of your Windows taskbar (bottom of the Screen) as stated in the manual and when I type, this happens:
                  yyyy$ xclock &
                  > [1] 4556
                  > [yyyy ~]$ Error: Can't open display:

                  what is the problem?\

                    Sounds like you were not able to install X-ming application correctly (or it is not running, check in your windows task manager).

                    What do you see when you type this command in terminal on server (remove the actual name of the server when posting output/replace with xxx)?

                    Code:
                    $ echo $DISPLAY

                        That means you were not able to configure PuTTY correctly. If you did do the "Enable X11 forwarding" on PuTTY you generally have to save the settings. Log out and log back in to the server to see the result of command above. Give that a try.

                          Its now set. I see the eyes and the clock (though the x shaped icon cannot be seen!).

                          Now that putty is working, How do i use it to run igv?

                          Thanks

                            Download IGV from Broad Institute and run it following the instructions: http://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/

                              Hello, If am running IGV on putty, will the required version be, Binary Distribution?

                                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...
