I'm a Linux/command line novice having trouble getting bowtie to work at all. I've downloaded bowtie2-2.2.3-linux-x86_64.zip (26.4 MB) from sourceforge. I extracted it in my builds folder and copied it to my bin folder. Now what? The manual seems very vague. Do I need to compile? If so, how? Do I need to set it to my path? If so, how? When I open up a terminal and type 'bowtie' I get: The program 'bowtie' is currently not installed. To run 'bowtie' please ask your administrator to install the package 'bowtie'

The command is "bowtie2", not "bowtie". A command will (almost) always be the name of a file, which you could have double checked by just looking in your bin folder. Setting up your PATH and such is outside the purview of installation documents, so they'll generally not be included (you'd be well served to just buy a book on using Linux).
Since you downloaded the precompiled version, you don't need to compile anything. We can't see your computer, so we can't know whether you need to add the bin directory to your path or not (and how to do that will depend on your shell, though odds are good that editing .bashrc or .bash_profile will do it).

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

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...-
