  • fastQC

    Hi,
    i am trying to test my data quality by fastQC.
    i have PE data.
    When i execute this line:
    ./fastqc file.fastq

    i am getting this warning:
    ...........
    Approx 100% complete for file.fastq
    Analysis complete for file.fastq
    (.:922): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

    and i am getting a corrupt zip file:
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6924 Feb 1 06:26 i-a_file.fastq.zip

    Can anyone help??

    B.R

        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...

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        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...
